Cartier Crystal Box, Signed Cartier French, 20th Century

Crystal Box, Signed Cartier
French, 20th Century

A cylindrical boîte de toilette in exceptional diamond-point cut crystal, the allover hobnail surface catching light from every angle. Fitted hinged lid joined by a chased silver-tone mount with beaded detail. Signed Cartier in cursive script to the interior rim.

The crystal is dense, brilliant, and flawlessly cut — the kind of quality associated with the great French houses that supplied Cartier throughout the twentieth century. Whether this lived on a Paris dressing table between a letter and a bottle of scent, or was presented as a gift of the sort Cartier has always done best, it arrives with a story already written.

No additional hallmarks present on the mount.

Condition is very good with minor wear consistent with age and honest use. The signature is clear and legible.

4” tall and 3” wide!
