Description

Crafted from opaline glass in a desirable pink colour, these cylindrical toilet boxes are decorated with ornate gilt metal embellishments and date to the late 19th century.

French in origin, the metalwork adorning the body of these boxes in neo-gothic in style, taking its inspiration from the art and architecture of the European medieval ages. To create harmony between the metalwork and the box itself, subtle gold gilt paintwork has been applied to the glass. The ornate lids are crafted in the same intricate style as the boxes, creating a harmonious and cohesive design throughout.

Functional and decorative at the same time, this pair of wonderfully ornate boxes would be perfect for anyone seeking sophisticated antique storage pieces.
