Antique European Gilt Bronze Jewelry Casket – 19th Century

A masterclass in Old World craftsmanship, this ornate bronze casket captures the romance and revelry of a bygone era.

Lined with black velvet and framed with finely carved scrollwork, this piece would have once sat proudly on a noblewoman’s vanity or in the salon of a well-traveled collector. Today, it makes for a timeless addition to any collection, desk, or dressing table — holding trinkets, secrets, or simply admiration.
