Antique French Crystal Casket

A stunning example of 19th-century French craftsmanship, this antique crystal casket features a bold checkerboard cut and exquisite clarity, catching the light with every angle. The domed lid adds a graceful silhouette, while the crystal walls reflect the quality of fine French crystal houses.

The gilded ormolu mounts are finely detailed with classical motifs and floral medallions, framing the box with elegant warmth. Though unmarked, the design and execution are highly consistent with the work of Baccarat or a comparable French atelier such as Saint Louis.

These opulent boxes were once used to hold precious letters, jewelry, or keepsakes—today, they serve as timeless decorative pieces with old-world charm and undeniable presence.

Note: The lid does not hold upright on its own so I would not recommend displaying with the lid open. 

Approximately 6.75” length
