Rock crystal watch box?
Beautiful domed case, France, 17th century, elongated octagonal shape covered from burgundy calfskin, exterior entirely gold decorated by small irons, it opens with two hinges, releasing a central leaf covered from leather in which was probably embedded a precious reliquary or other pendant of which one could therefore see the two sides, without the object leaving safety of the two solid shells…
Dimensions = 8cm x 6cm x 3.5cm Good general condition, a little wear on both sides.
Rare, luxurious and… providential object if you have such a precious jewel.
This object is for immediate purchase, payable by credit card or paypal.
