Wonderful Viennese Small 19th Century Jewelry Box in the Romantic Style, 12 Hand Painted Copper Panels
Furniture, GeneralA wondrous small 19th Century Viennese jewelry box with an architectural form of an “ebonized” black painted wood frame and “pagoda” style canopy. The sides are decorated with 15 hand-painted copper panels depicting Romantic (Watteau) Period style scenes of courting couples and idyllic “castle” landscape settings plus 4 cylindrical column posts also with hand painted scenes . The panels are accented with intricate brass bezels and decorative brass accents on the top, sides and skirt of the chest. The front doors open to reveal two small drawers which are also decorated with enamelled panels with brass accents, as well as the inner panels of the front doors.
Given the age, the top of the pagoda once had a small finial but this doesn’t detract from the overall excellent period condition.
Dimensions: height 6.0″ x width 4.5″ x depth 3.6″
19 panels and columns in total.
