Limoges - Jewellery box (11) - Onyx, Ceramic - Jewelry box lot

Lotto Collection of 11 Jewelry Boxes and Vintage Art Objects: Porcelain from Limoges, Volterra Alabaster, 24% PbO Crystal, and Precious Metals. Collection consisting of 11 jewelry boxes, cases, and vintage ornamental objects dating from the second half of the 20th century (1960s–1990s) and the early 2000s. The lot stands out for its great variety of noble materials (fine porcelain, pure alabaster, lead crystal, with laminated silver and fine gold details) and for the presence of important Italian and French art brands. Net total weight of the lot (without packaging): 2.250 kg. This datum testifies to the absolute authenticity and solidity of the materials used, particularly for pieces in solid crystal and carved pure alabaster. Objects of great charm, perfect for collectors or as refined furnishings for display cabinets and dressing rooms. All 11 pieces are in excellent condition. They do not show chipping, cracks, crazing, or restorations. The porcelains retain their original luster, the gold and silver details are vivid, and the initial mechanical parts (hinges and magnetic closures) are in perfect working order. Signs of very light and natural patina on the metal parts attest to their vintage authenticity. 1.
