Dilecta - Antique gold metal jewelry box

This beautiful jewelry box dates from the late nineteenth century. It is marked by the french goldsmith dilecta, which no longer exists, and which was specialized in jewelry boxes around the 1900s. Some lend it a bean shape, others a kidney shape. Made of antique metal and very finely plated with gold, it retains a good condition, despite some clear imperfections inside. The inner lining is very beautiful, but aging, and requires obvious restoration.
