Antique & Unique Napoleon II Inlaid Burl Box w. Gilt Perfume Flasks / Bottles

When it comes to collectible and high value boxes, this little, fit-for-a-king gem from the 1850s is right up there with the rarest and most beautiful we ever saw. We know it should not be THE reason why you would purchase something of this quality and beauty, but with ever fewer craftsman being able to create anything remotely great, the value of this type of antique can only go up. This amazing box stands on brass ball feet and the entire body is covered with the most beautiful burl. The exceptional color burl was chosen so that the stunning brass decorations and the inlaid pearly white gem stones would stand out even more. Those handmade, hand-sawn, hand-engraved and meticulously inlaid details and materials are of a quality and beauty that is unsurpassed. Just try to imagine how many hours it would have took to hand-create a piece (or rather a set) like this. One of the inlaid brass decorations on the right side of this box is missing, but this box is so intricate that we only noticed it ourselves when we were shooting the photos. For the interior of this striking antique yet another amazing color was chosen so that the inside too would be perfect for presenting the hand-crafted and hand-gilt perfume bottles. Only the most talented and skilled artisans were capable of creating these remarkable works of beauty and only the wealthiest of individuals would be able to own and enjoy the beauty of such a box. Mind you, the perfume that these exquisite bottles would contain too would be very dear. The overal condition of this one of a kind antique is very good and it will look amazing, no matter where you decide to have her on display. This also makes a truly impressive gift for a friend or loved one.
