Description:
Gorgeous detailed Mother of Pearl in the form of florals and leaves adorn the top of this heavily black lacquered box.The MOP has further attraction with fine lines in black for the veins in the leaves and the petals on the flowers. Beautiful shades of the rainbow that reflect the light and change color when viewed in different lighting.
The exterior of the wooden box has a high sheen although this is hard to see in most of the pictures. The interior of the box has a matte finish. It has a tight flush fit.
It measures 9 3/4" long by 2 3/4" wide by 1 3/4" high. Not quite large enough to be considered a glove box although it can easily hold a pair or two of gloves. This is a perfect size for jewelry, especially necklaces and bracelets, or a desk accessory.
The box is in good to excellent condition. There is a very small nick on one corner of the lid and base which is hard to see. We had to examine this closely to find flaws but there is light scratches. The high shine on this piece makes the flaws on this almost invisible.
