ANTIQUE 1800'S GERMAN VESTE COBURG CASTLE GLASS VITRINE JEWELRY DISPLAY BOX

Description: Charming and rare antique French style Victorian Baroque jewelry, trinket, or vitrine display box: ~ Photo under the top glass depicts a huge castle and sprawling surrounding estate titled Veste Coburg - also known as the Coburg Fortress located in Coburg, Germany ~ Beveled glass panels on 5 sides are held by fancy metal prongs ~ Rococo style feet elevate this treasure ~ Silver toned tin panel on the bottom ~ Rich fabrics in shades of green on the interior - smooth bright lime green lid feels like silk or satin and the darker green bottom treatment has hand sewn ruching that adds loft and elegance and also feels like satin or silk. Look to be original and very well intact. ~ Perfect German tourist souvenir for the antique or vintage lover ~ Chateau chic all the way around ~ This should last a few hundred more years if the new owner cherishes & takes good care of it as previous custodians have Ready and waiting for your vanity, dresser, display, side table, collection, or gift giving - you will love this! AGE OR ERA: I am guessing this is from the Napoleon III era - c 1852 - 1870, if not earlier MARKINGS: None that I could find - other than the title of the castle on the photo METAL / MATERIAL: Looks to be brass or brass toned metal with a light gold gilding in places, silver tin bottom panel and fabric outlined above CLASP / CLOSURE: Little tension catch in the front middle MEASUREMENTS: Aprox 1 3/4" tall - including the 5/8" of height the legs provide x 2 1/2" wide or across measured at the box (2 7/8" across measured at the feet) x 1 3/4" deep at the box portion / glass panel (2" deep at the bottom of the feet) WEIGHT: x TESTING: x U.S. RING SIZE: x ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, &/or LORE: Coburg castle is one of the best preserved Medieval fortresses in Germany. It was constructed in the 900's or 10th century and built in the Romanesque / Gothic revival style. It was renovated 1838 to 1860 - perhaps this box is a souvenir from that time. It is open to the public to this day and houses museums and historic treasures JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): This stunning antique glass vitrine is a true treasure from the 1800s. It depicts the Veste Coburg Castle. The intricate details and beautiful craftsmanship make it a must-have for any collector of vanity accessories or vintage collectibles. The glass is in excellent condition and the size is perfect for displaying small items such as trinkets, jewelry, and small keepsakes. This piece is a true statement piece that will elevate any room it is placed in. CONDITION: Good vintage condition - no major flaws or damage. Good vintage condition given the age, rarity, and unique handmade nature. There are a few random misshapen or missing prongs or brass drops around the edges/borders, mostly on the bottom of the box. One foot is curled under a bit more than the others. This is very old and a bit askew due to age, use, and/or the handmade nature. No longer perfectly square, if it ever was to begin with - all part of the charm, in my opinion. Hinge works perfectly and clasp functions well. No chips or large scratches to the glass that I found. In an excellent state of preservation INVENTORY NUMBER OR NOTE: x "A picture is worth a thousand words" Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
