Box (3) - Wood, Paper, Brass, Velvet - Lot of Three Antique Fren

Lot of Three Antique French Folk Art Boxes and Chests: "Auvergne" Jewelry Box, "À la Liberté" Keyed Box with Lithograph, and Montpellier Pyrographed Case (Late 19th Century - 1930). Detailed Description: ​An exceptional and exclusive set of three wooden boxes and chests of French origin, dated between the late 19th century and 1930 (Belle Époque and Art Nouveau periods). These are authentic pieces of folk art, traditional craftsmanship, and historical souvenirs of high aesthetic and collectible value, becoming increasingly difficult to find together in such well-preserved condition. ​The lot includes: ​"Auvergne" Jewelry Box / Miniature Drawer Unit: A two-tier drawer unit with a molded top lid, meticulously decorated by hand with ornamental metal studs. The top features a protected traditional print from the Auvergne region. The interior preserves its original dark velvet lining. ​"À la Liberté" Keyed Chest with Lithograph: An elegant light wood chest featuring embossed silver-toned metal corner brackets and a lock plate. It retains its fully functional original key. The interior, lined in dark velvet/paper, highlights a valuable gold-framed patriotic lithograph with period quality stamps (R&C Extra Supre / Fil à Lin). ​Montpellier Pyrographed Case: A vertical wooden box featuring delicate and intricate pyrography and relief carving on the top lid, depicting a monumental view of Montpellier framed by a geometric textured design typical of the turn-of-the-century transition era. ​Justification of Value and Rarity: ​This collection stands out for its integrity and the excellent preservation of its original elements (such as the retained key and intact lithographies). The quality pyrography techniques and hand-studded woodworking grant these pieces a solid, verified market value among European antique collectors. ​Condition: Very good and entirely original, showing the natural historical patina of age. ​Origin: France. ​Materials: Solid wood, metal hardware, original lithographs, and dark velvet lining.
