Finely Chiseled Silver-plated Metal Box With Blue Stone Europe, 19th Century

Finely chiseled silver-plated metal box with blue stone Europe, 19th century

Refined silver-plated metal jewelry box or case, with a curved shape and four elegant acanthus leaf feet.

The lid and side panels are richly hand-chiseled with rocaille-style plant and floral motifs.

At the center of the lid stands a splendid blue stone or glass cabochon, set within an ornamental frame, lending light and color to the overall effect.

The meticulous workmanship and the three-dimensional rendering of the decorations testify to the artisanal quality of the object, likely made by a European manufacturer (French or Austrian) in the second half of the 19th century.
