A truly striking antique box, beautifully adorned with mother of pearl and abalone inlay. What sets this piece apart is its shield-shaped escutcheon, intricately carved from mother of pearl. The checkered pattern and exceptional craftsmanship make it a standout piece.
The interior features its original textured fuchsia padded lining, which enhances the natural iridescence of the inlay, subtly drawing out the soft pink tones within the mother of pearl when opened.
