Antique Hand Carved Swiss Black Forest Jewlery Box with Key and Carved Edelweiss Flower Design

This exquisite antique box is a beautiful example of traditional Swiss Black Forest craftsmanship. Hand-carved from a warm-toned wood, this charming box features intricate, high-relief carvings on all sides and the lid. The central motif is the iconic Edelweiss flower, a symbol of purity and timeless beauty, with its delicate petals and foliage rendered in meticulous detail.

The box is designed with a hinged lid that opens to reveal a luxurious, tufted satin or silk interior. This soft, cushioned lining provides a perfect and secure home for your most cherished keepsakes, such as rings, earrings, or other small pieces of jewelry. The box is secured with a small metal clasp and includes a key, adding a touch of old-world charm and functionality.

Sitting on four small bun feet, this piece has a distinguished presence and is in excellent antique condition, showcasing a rich patina that highlights its age and history. Two major flaws to note include a slight wobble and one miss-matched button foot. Neither compromise the integrity or function of this beautiful box. The slight wobble is highlighted in the listing video (just before the lid is opened).

This small box is not just a storage container; it's a piece of history and art, a perfect gift for collectors of fine wood carvings or anyone who appreciates the rustic elegance of European antiques.
