    Description

    This listing is for an Antique  Mirrored Vanity / Jewelry Box with a Colored Lithograph / Engraving framed under glass on hinged lid , which I gather were published in Women's Fashion Magazines during the Victorian era.
    I am not sure how early the print on top is and I am not sure if it has been cut or folded although it is hand tinted in color and it is from an engraving by Hippolyte Pauquet , illustrator and engraver , titled  Modes Parisiennes , Rigne de Louis XVI , d'apres Moreau le Jeunne 1777. The original engraving was done in 1864
    The box is formed in the shape of stacked hand carved arts and crafts style frames .
    Very unique hinges on the lid.
    The bottom seems to be cardboard in the inside and also cardboard on the underside ( i think two layers of cardboard makeup the base ) , which was covered with felt at one point and has been worn / taken off. ( I have a few sizable panels of felt which on your request , I will adhere one to base .
    The interior is otherwise wooden.
    Mirror inside the lid's interior is in excellent condition.
    There is a pin tucked in on the underside of pin which I think has been holding a pull ribbon / thread which is worn away leaving only the pin.
    Age crack on back of box as shown.
    Wear to finish and patina throughout as shown.
    8 1/4 inches by 10 1/4  inches by 2 1/16 inches tall,  856 grams net weight.
    Image on lid is partial . The last two images are of an engraving by the artist to show the artist and are not of the item being offered.
    In excellent vintage as shown condition otherwise.
