"Refined Egyptian Jewelry Box (1890-1910)"
Small wooden jewelry box finished with mother-of-pearl and agate. These typically Egyptian jewelry boxes were entirely handmade by highly skilled craftsmen and are inlaid with hand-carved geometric pieces of mother-of-pearl. This box probably dates from the early 20th century, when demand for oriental and exotic items was booming in Europe. The boxes combine traditional Egyptian motifs with high-quality materials and were often taken as souvenirs by wealthy European tourists.
Condition: The box and inlays are in perfect condition
