Coffret à bijoux Forêt-Noire XlX ème - Jewellery box - Wood, Silk

Beautiful jewelry box in Black Forest style, handmade carved wood dating from the late 19th century. The lid is topped with a bird carved in the round, perched on oak foliage.

The interior of this box reveals an original blue silk or satin upholstery designed to protect jewelry or precious items from scratches.
