Antique jewelry box, hand-painted central lady, bakelite, 1940s casket

Elegant vintage collectible box, crafted in the 1940s using period materials such as Bakelite and faux ivory.  

The surface is finely engraved with oblique geometric patterns, while a golden oval medallion featuring the painted portrait of a lady in historical attire stands out in the center, lending the object a strong decorative character. The gilded metal details further embellish the structure. The interior, lined in red fabric, suggests its original use as a jewelry box or a case for small precious items.

A rare and striking object, entirely finished by hand.  

It shows slight traces of time and use, consistent with its age and visible in the photographs, but it remains in excellent overall condition.

Perfect for those who love the charm of the past, for collectors of applied arts, or as an original and sophisticated gift.
