About the Item

Art Nouveau Gilt Metal Chest with Portrait Medallions, circa 1900 A decorative gilt metal chest from around 1900, of French origin. Its rectangular shape is decorated with relief ornamentation and a hinged lid featuring two oval portrait medallions set in original pink fabric panels. The interior is lined with its original pink silk, and the chest retains its front key shield. Its elongated proportions make it especially suitable for storing jewelry, letters, or small keepsakes, and it also looks splendid as a decorative object on a desk or shelf. Its design straddles the decorative arts of the late 19th century and early Art Nouveau, with a balanced and symmetrical composition and a warm gilt finish. It is presented in good antique condition, with slight wear and patina consistent with its age. The interior lining is well preserved.
