Pattern: Vintage Jewelry Box, Shell Art with Lotus Flower
Made in People's Republic of China
Vintage: 1970's
Details: This is a very pretty lacquered jewelry box with a wonderful shell-art of a Lotus Flower. It also has the look of mahogany, we are unsure if this is real mahogany or a veneer, but it looks absolutely wonderful with the rich grain patterns, could pass for real. Inside there's a red satin floral damask. The hinges and latch, probably not real brass, looks like brass-tone metal to us, but they are shiny and the front latch is very ornate, with openings to accept a small lock, all this adds to the overall look of the piece. Beautiful home decor an a shelf or office desk. There are several condition issues, but it was so pretty we wanted to save its life and hope you can appreciate it as well, priced accordingly. While not "gift-worthy", it will look pretty on a book shelf or as part of a larger display.
Condition: Vintage - Used. Average Vintage Condition. As with most lacquered vintage items, there are surface scratches, most visible when the light hits it just so. Lots of wear, scratches, dings, on the outside corners. The inside fabric looks ok, there is slight fraying in areas. Also, there is some separation between the "ring holders", they look like they've been stretched to fit larger items. Please review all pictures and make sure you love this item before purchasing, we can't accept returns. All Sales Final. Please remember these are VINTAGE and ANTIQUE items, they are NOT new, every effort has been made to show any scratches, wear and tear and imperfections.
