    Description

    Antique French gilt ormolu trinket box, with incredibly fine decorative répoussé garlands on the top framing a miniature portrait of an elegant lady under glass. The tiny repousse details are incredible. There's lender rope trim around the edges and three dimensional garlands and flowers all around the sides. There's a round glass bowl inside. The box has a hinged lid lined with the original velvet fabric. This measures 5 1/2" diameter and 2" high. The portrait appears to be hand painted, but may be a print. Very good condition ~ no dents, damage or repairs. The brass has been freshly polished but a bit of tarnish remains. The top fits snugly. Shipped USPS or free local pickup outside Washington DC.
