ROMANTIC ANTIQUE
HEART SHAPED
TIBETAN BRASS BOX
A beautiful small Chinese-Tibetan
brass
heart shaped trinket box
with turquoise and
coral glass inlay
pieces.
Early 20th Century
It is covered with
glass simulants of
turquoise and coral
set within the
rope edged cells.
When the lid is
removed the brass
interior is still
gleaming and takes
you a bit by surprise
as the outside
does represent its
age more but
still looks lovely.
Being heart shaped it
would make
a great Valentines
gift or Xmas
Birthday present for
someone
you love.
CONDITION
In good antique condition with a few
signs of age and use.
Above the centre stone of the lid
there is an empty cell but there is
no evidence there was ever a stone
glued in here and
I took it as part
of the design.
The centre ‘turquoise’ cabochon has
a hole which is
either from a burst
bubble during the manufacturing
process or it has received a knock.
One other turquoise has been glued
in two pieces into place (top right
of the centre one) and some of the
‘coral’ stones around the edge also
have a little bit
glued back into place.
Actually probably none of the stones are
absolutely ‘perfect’
but I don’t think
they are supposed to be either.
It not an item that would have been
sold through Tiffany’s
or produced by
Faberge, it’s more
of a hand made
ethnic folk art
sort of item, beautiful
and unique, foibles and all.
DIMENSIONS
It measures approximately:
4.2cm (1 5/8") long and wide
and 2.5cm (1") high
Weight is: 30.9 grams
