Vintage Paris Souvenir Ormolu Jewelry Box, c. 1890-1900 - #22 - Eiffel Tower
This is an amazing collection of ormolu* jewelry boxes from the 1890-1900s, meant as souvenirs for visitors.
Each one has a drawing of a Paris landmark on the lid . Some are in better shape than others (I mean, they are 130 years old.) Some are larger (up to 5.75") and some are very small (2"). Some have little cushion in the bottom or mirrors in the lid. Many have very rare, thick beveled glass sides. Please email with any questions. All ship free and insured.
*a thin gold-colored allow made to allow the metal to be shaped.
#22, The Eiffel Tower, La Tour Eiffel, the location of the 2024 Olympics. These are rare, especially this large with the Eiffel Tower. What a souvenir!
This is a larger sized box depicting the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It has six round, beveled glass circles on the sides and a beveled glass top. The feet are a bit bent, so it has lost its shape just a bit (see photos). The inner red tufted pillow does show some wear and the inside lid is from a gold colored paper.
