This extraordinary antique casket is a true statement piece—richly layered in deep ruby glass and adorned with ornate gilt bronze filigree that wraps around the entire form. Resting on four sculptural ball-footed legs, the piece has remarkable presence and craftsmanship from every angle.
The lid features an intricate openwork bronze design centered by a hand-painted miniature of a Parisian landmark, adding a touch of Grand Tour romance and European history. The red glass glows beautifully through the pierced metalwork, giving the entire piece a jewel-box effect when the light hits.
Perfect for collectors of fine European objets d’art, this casket is both functional and exquisitely decorative—an heirloom-level treasure ready to elevate any vignette, vanity, or curio cabinet.
