Black Forest Carved Nude Lady Jewelry Box Casket' Description THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL GERMAN CARVED EROTIC NUDE JEWELRY BOX PROBABLY CIRCA 1900. I THINK THE CARVED NUDE LADY ON THE TOP OF THE BOX WOULD DATE THIS PIECE TO ABOUT 1900-1910. THE CASKET JEWELRY BOX IS 14" LONG,10" WIDE AND STANDS ABOUT 10 " TALL. THE CARVING ON THIS BOX IS INCREDIBLE!! IT STANDS ON FOUR CARVED LIONS PAWS THAT ARE PROBABLY THE BEST DESIGN I HAVE EVER SEEN. CARVED LEAF ACANTHUSES ON THE CASKET SIDES OF THE BOX- DEEP STYLE CARVING AND I SEE NO DAMAGE ANYWHERE ON IT. THE TOP OF THE BOX IS BY FAR THE BEST WITH THE CARVED NUDE LADY (8" LONG) LYING UPON A CARVED MATTRESS AND ON A CARVED PILLOW WITH TASSELS! THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE DESIGN. SHE HAS LONG HAIR , BEAUTIFUL FACE AND BODY. THE CARVING IS SUPERB! EVEN ONE FOOT IS CARVED WITH THE HEEL ON THE MATTRESS-TOES CARVED WITH GREAT DETAIL AND AGAIN I SEE NO DAMAGE ANYWHERE!!THERE IS A LOCKED TOP AND I DO NOT HAVE THE KEY. THE INSIDE IS LINED WITH A RED VELVET AND GOLD CORDING AROUND THE EDGES. I THINK THIS WAS RECENTLY DONE. ACTUALLY, THE VELVET LOOKS AND FEEL OLD, BUT THE GOLD CORDING LOOKS NEWER TO ME. THERE IS A MIRROR IN THE BACK OF THE LID -CONDITION IS GOOD. I SEE NO DAMAGE IN THE CARVING OF THIS GREAT BOX. THERE IS A SPACE ON THE TOP WHERE THERE IS A SPLIT IN THE WOOD( HAVE SHOWN IN A PHOTO). THE TOP FITS SECURELY ON THE BOX AND WHEN CLOSED IS A BIT UP ON ONE SIDE. I HAVE SHOWN THIS IN A PHOTO, AND THINK THIS COULD BE FIXED WITH NEW CORDING ON THE INSIDE. A MINOR THING, BUT AM DESCRIBING THIS BOX THE BEST I CAN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A NUDE WOMAN ON TOP OF A JEWELRY CASKET BOX BEFORE. I LOVE THE DESIGN AND THE LOOK OF THIS BOX. IT MAKES A STUNNING DISPLAY ON A TABLE AND WOULD BE THE BEST JEWELRY BOX THAT YOU COULD EVER POSSIBLY GIVE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. SHIPPING WOULD REQUIRE A LARGE SIZED BOX AND THE PIECE WOULD WEIGH ABOUT 15 POUNDS PACKED.STARTING THIS WEEK, I AM LISTING MANY ITEMS I HAVE COLLECTED JUST FOR CHRISTMAS.
