ABOUT PRODUCTID 6687
This heart-shaped jewelry box from late 19th-century Vienna exemplifies decorative craftsmanship in the Victorian tradition. Crafted from faceted crystal glass in a cool, pale blue hue, the box displays high clarity and a pronounced gloss that amplifies its play with light. Ornate gilded brass mounts wrap around the lid and base, featuring repeating floral and scroll motifs typical of Viennese design at the turn of the century. The box stands on three elaborately decorated feet, with a small, decorative brass latch completing the form. Its compact, symmetrical heart shape and substantial crystal thickness lend both solidity and a collectible character. Condition is very good—no chips or cracks in the crystal, and the metalwork retains an authentic patina appropriate to its age.This piece evokes the ambience of late 19th-century Viennese salons, when everyday objects carried a sense of sentiment and attention to detail. The faceted crystal catches the light, revealing subtle shifts in color and depth, as if preserving fleeting moments of a bygone era. The gilded fittings speak to an era when small rituals—opening a box, placing a ring—held personal and symbolic meaning. The heart motif, characteristic of Victorian taste, highlights the box’s role as a guardian of private stories and mementos.The box can be displayed on a bedroom vanity, where it harmonizes with gilt-framed mirrors and a collection of period jewelry. It would also serve as a single accent on a shelf among antiques or alongside white porcelain curios, where the light playing on its crystal surface adds a delicate decorative note. It may be paired with velvet or silk textiles to emphasize the gentle and refined quality of this small-scale object.
