Old oriental curiosity box, small chest, jewelry box, folk art deco

  

Beautiful embossed metal box with two side handles and one for opening. Padded interior, with the lid held by a small chain. It rests on 4 small round feet.

Fine craftsmanship, with delicately chiselled decorations on each side as well as on the inside; the two-tone white and gold metal gives it a lovely finish. Good condition, sturdy, somewhat heavy. Dimensions: 18 cm x 13 cm.
