ABOUT PRODUCTID 6689
This late 19th-century Austrian jewelry box is crafted from faceted crystal glass in a vivid, cool-toned shade of pink. The compact form, measuring 7.5 × 6 × 6 cm, features a beveled slanted lid and harmoniously balanced proportions. The semi-transparent, highly polished crystal surface refracts and reflects light, enhancing the depth of color. Gilt brass mounts, with a matte, gently aged finish, are adorned with repeating botanical motifs and volutes, framing both the lid and lower edge, as well as four cast, elegantly curved legs. The small, delicately integrated clasp complements the overall refined construction. Connections between glass and metal are precise, while the decorative language references Rococo Revival, characteristic of Viennese fin de siècle craftsmanship. The condition is very good—there are no chips or cracks in the glass, only slight traces of age on the brass surface.This box tells the story of turn-of-the-century Viennese salons. The pink crystal reflects light like a tiny gem, evoking the atmosphere of boudoirs and vanities where daily rituals took on a ceremonial aspect. The gilded mounts, with their flowing lines and botanical ornament, recall an era when even the smallest everyday objects were designed for sensory delight. Each detail speaks to a time when luxury and masterful craftsmanship converged in objects of intimate scale, with the box's history captured in the gentle patina of its metalwork.The box would make a distinguished accent on a vanity, console, or bedroom chest, highlighting interiors inspired by historicism or eclectic collecting. It can be paired with marble, walnut veneer, or velvet, and
