Vintage jewelry box Chatel-Guyon Caillerie l'Améthyste antique metal

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique jewelry box features a lid adorned with a blue inscription, typical of the early to mid-20th century. On the visible side, the inscription "Caillerie À L’AMETHYSTE 6, Avenue Baraduc CHATEL-GUYON" is clearly distinguishable, printed in capital letters on a textured surface. The box is rectangular, with straight edges and a slight relief visible on the top, suggesting a fitted lid.

The main color is off-white or ivory, subtly speckled, evoking a retro style. The dark blue inscription stands out distinctly against the light background. The whole gives the impression of an advertising or utilitarian object from a jewelry store or a gemstone cutting workshop, probably used for presenting or handing over jewelry or cut stones.

The visible lid does not feature any decorative motifs other than the text, but a fine and regular texture appears on the surface, reinforcing the vintage character of the object. No other graphic elements or ornamentation are visible on this side.

The box appears to be in good general condition for its age, with no apparent chips or cracks on the top surface. Slight traces of use and some discreet marks are visible, particularly on the corners, testifying to an authentic patina.
