Made in the 1950s, this is a very unique vintage jewelry box has a romantic scene in high relief and embellished with lavish baroque detail. The box is made of silver metal that is a mix of nickel, lead, and chrome. It is sometimes called coin silver and it has a remarkable ability to polish easily and have the look of sterling silver. 

The domed lid has a colonial hunting scene with a man in Colonial attire, a rifle, a Revolutionary era triangular hat, and a hunting dog near his feet. The lady has a full hoop skirt and hat; all in a garden setting. 

The lid is also adorned with Fleur de Lis style corners and roses and leaves. The lower portion of the box has heavy baroque detail in relief and a domed ball at the front. The box has four scrolled legs and the original red velvet inside.

Medium in size, the jewelry box is 3" tall 4 1/8" wide x 3 3/4" front to back. 

The trinket or jewelry box is in exceptional clean and very well cared for condition with no scratches, dings, cracks, or dents. It has been cleaned and polished but retains the original old, antiqued patina. 

The box is signed Japan on the bottom. * In one of my photos, it looks like the domed ball on the front is dented but it is just a light reflection.

Truth is, this box has been stored away in my jewelry box collection for over 40 years and has never been used. There are only microscopic hints of wear from gentle handling.
