A delightful Art Nouveau trinket box, crafted in cast metal and designed in the manner of a miniature cabinet. Its gently curved legs and richly modelled surface reflect the wider European decorative style of the early 20th century, particularly the flowing lines seen across Central Europe during the Jugendstil period.
The box features an ornate facade with small decorative drawer motifs and a central keyhole ornament, lending it the charm of a tiny commode. The sculpted lid rises into an elegant crest, giving the piece an expressive characteristic of continental design sensibilities of the era.
