Antique European original jewelry presentation / display / gift box:

~ Eye catching keystone shape

~ Richest shade of crushed / patterned royal navy blue velvet

~ Gold foiled embossed paper accents

~ Fantastic condition for the age

~ Fabric covered hidden hinge(s) on the longest straight side of the keystone

~ Off white colored silk or satin like fabric lines the top 

~ Matching ivory velvet on the bottom where the jewels would rest

~ Small pink tab on the hinge / long straight side of the keystone lifts to mount jewelry on the pad, and reveals a removable cardboard lift or framework underneath

~ The pad has two holes near the bottom which can mainly be spotted from the backside, which I am assuming were for earrings 

~ One the back of the beige velvet display pad is very old hand writing with K14 and 11.50 ea penciled in.  K14 being the European format for 14 k gold and 11.50 denotes the price of the treasures this elegant box previously held.  

~ Beautiful, versatile and still very useable collectible 

ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = I would broadly guess this to be 1800's in age, if not older

METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Gold foiled paper board, cardboard, blue velvet, ivory velvet, matching silk or satin

CLOSURE/CLASP = x

MARKS = None that I could find

MEASUREMENTS = Measured from the bottom gold platform side 5.5" top to bottom tall x 4.5 long side across and 3.5" on the short edge across x 1 3/8" thick

US RING SIZE = x

WEIGHT = x

CONDITION = Good vintage condition - there are small amounts of wear on the gold foil paper card base - see pics.  The last photo is a very good representation.  And of you look close you can spot some adhesive peeking out around the edges.  Most, if not all of that would be considered normal for the age and not damage.  Hinge is in great working order!  You will be very pleased with this very special box.   

Please view & enlarge all photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear.  Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged.  I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting.  Utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.  Pictures normally speak louder than words and individuals also interpret characteristics differently.

Don't forget to check my other items ;)

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ:  I reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable.  The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end.  You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region.  It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you.  I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all.  Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction.  I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags.  I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way.  I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount.  What I can and will do is include any other purchases made at the same time with no additional added shipping cost to you - just pay a single fee and the rest ship for free.  Makes it all seem a bit better if you can find a few things that make you smile and just have pay one flat rate to get them from me to you :)  NO WORRIES - SMILE AND SHOP AWAY!
