During the late 19th century, Parisian artisans created ever more elaborate jewelry holders, competing to develop the most lavish and elegant homes for treasured gems and watches.

Found at market in Paris, this stunning jewelry case resembles a traditional ‘casque porte montre’, or pocket watch casket, although without the small interior hook on the top of the frame typically used to hang a pocket watch. Now a gorgeous setting for any piece of jewelry or watch, this case features a beveled glass box mounted on sculpted brass legs, complete with tufted pillow lining.

Elegantly raised on four decorative feet, it is the perfect accent on a vanity or bedside table, lovingly storing your treasures in lasting French style.

3.5"W x 5"L x 4.5"H. In very good antique condition with age-appropriate wear to the case and lining.
