Arts and Crafts / Art Nouveau brass inlaid wooden box containing a manicure / dresser set.
Etui.
Manicure set made by J.
A.
Henckels Zwillingswerk Solingen (Germany) - late 19th - early 20th century.
The fabulous brass inlaid box was almost certainly made by Erhard and Sohne.
Box measures approx 10 inches accross and 6 inches high.
Brass box / casket with wood inlay.
Rich wood with gorgeous patina and markings, curved and domed.
The brass patterning is superb - see photos, and the ultimate in design, with scrolls, fans and symbolised flowers.
The shapes and their repetition around all the surfaces of the box, give a strong sense of flowing movement.
The deep inside section has an upper layer that is fitted for a manicure / dresser set with ivory handles.
Two items are missing.
The set includes a small corkscrew that would be used to remove the cork on a perfume bottle.
The fitted tray is lined in blue velvet.
The padded inside of the lid with royal purple cover has gilt embossed logo for J.
A.
Henckels Zwillingswerk SOlingen.
A number of the manicure pieces are also marked with the Henckels logo (a pair of stylised people), that is still in use today.
Condition is very good.
