All auctions / Furniture, Design & Mirrors / Napoleon III Reliquary box - Brass, Velvet - 1850-1900 - Crystal Display
apoléon III-style display reliquary, dating from the 19th century, made of gilded brass and handcrafted glass. It is a delicate vitrine piece originally intended for displaying relics, devotional mementos or small objects of special value, combining decorative elegance and functionality. Its structure consists of three bevelled glasses of artisanal manufacture that allow perfect viewing of the interior contents. The glasses show slight irregularities, reflections and nuances typical of old glass, adding authenticity and charm to the piece. The brass frame features careful ornamentation in French taste, with engraved motifs, pearled edges and attractive Rococo-inspired pierced feet. On the top retains its original decorative handle, which facilitates transport and enhances its ornamental character. The interior is lined in red velvet, creating an elegant contrast with the transparency of the glass and the golden tone of the structure. Thanks to its design as a small inclined display case, it is ideal for presenting medals, relics, antique jewelry, miniatures, sentimental keepsakes or collectible pieces, while also becoming a standout decorative element for display cases, desks or curiosity cabinets. A piece with great appeal for antique collectors, lovers of Napoleon III style and French historical decoration. Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
