Victorian-Style Gilt Metal Filigree Box with Enamel Accent

This is a small gilt metal filigree box, elaborately decorated with intricate floral and scrollwork patterns. The hinged lid features a central enamel medallion displaying a white starburst design against a cobalt blue background, surrounded by an openwork frame. Inside, the box is lined with green velvet and retains its original functionality. Measuring approximately 2 inches square, this piece exudes the romantic aesthetics of the Victorian or early 20th-century period.

History:
These types of boxes were often used during the late 19th to early 20th century for storing small personal items such as jewelry, keepsakes, or trinkets. The detailed filigree and enamel work suggest a European origin, possibly French or Austrian, as such craftsmanship was popular in these regions. The gilding and velvet lining were typical of decorative boxes meant to showcase luxury and refinement.
