The Boxes: · Box 1: The "Battlement" Chest (Left in photos) box features a medium-tone wood finish with a distinctive "castle battlement" design along the top edges. The lid is centered with a striking brass heraldic crest featuring a shield flanked by winged griffins and the signature "S. Sper Bijou" banner. It is accented with brass corner brackets and two prominent lion-head ring pull handles on the front. Dimensions: 20 x 11 x 9 cm · Box 2: The Classic Dark Wood Chest (Right in photos) This box boasts a rich, dark mahogany-toned finish with a framed panel lid. It features a different S. Sper Bijou brass crest, showcasing an eagle and shield motif. Includes fleur-de-lis and stars, also associated with the brand's premium line. The front is detailed with vertical wood paneling, small brassstuds, and two matching brass lion-head ring pull handles. Dimensions: 20 x 11 x 9 cm Condition: Both boxes are in vintage condition, showing expected signs of age and use that add to their antique character. · Box 1: Structurally sound. The leather/fabric top has some patina and slight fading consistent with age. The brass elements show a warm, aged patina. · Box 2: Structurally sound with a glossy finish.
