These turn of the century bijoux caskets are truly heirloom pieces, with their incredible craftsmanship, beveled glass and gorgeous gilt ormolu detailing. This one is particular is a special find—it would have been sold during the 1889 Paris Expo when the Eiffel Tower would have been the new attraction! The eglomise image on the lid shows the Trocadéro—a view that’s directly across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. We found this gorgeous piece in a brocante in Aix-en-Provence, and now you can bring it home to house your petite treasures. dimensions: 3.25"W x 2.25"D x 2.5"H Show more
