French Gilded Bronze Jewelry Box with Petit Point Embroidery
A romantic relic of 19th-century French design, this gilt bronze jewelry box is a striking fusion of artistry, nobility, and feminine charm. The scalloped form features ornate fluting and floral motifs cast in bronze, finished in a warm, time-softened gilding. At its center, a hand-painted portrait miniature on ivory of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, gazes outward in her signature plumed hat. A celebrated beauty and political hostess of the Georgian era, Georgiana was also a direct ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales — adding a layer of dynastic fascination to this heirloom piece.
Inside, the box is lined with delicate petit point embroidery, stitched with blooming roses in shades of crimson and blush. Whether displayed open on a vanity or styled among collected treasures, it offers a rare blend of craftsmanship and historical resonance.
A jewel box in every sense—crafted to hold keepsakes, and worthy of being one itself.
In good antique condition.
Dimensions: 4.5" L x 4" W x 1.5" H
