Antique French Napoleon III Jewelry Casket, Miniature Vitrine Box with Thick Beveled Glass putti A beautiful old pairLovely antique French Napoleon III or Victorian era 3" jewel casket or miniature vitrine, a lovely little box with thick beveled glass on top and all four sides, set in a rich gold or gilded pressed brass framework! Surely a souvenir of some sort and similar to the small French pocket watch caskets that we've had in the past though there is no place or region inscription on this one.
