Description

ANTIQUE AUSTRIAN JEWELED GILT BRASS CAMEO GEM RHINESTONE MATCH BOX CASE SAFE HOLDER
For your consideration is the match case holder pictured above. In very good condition and all stones intact and in place. The research I found places the piece to the early 19th century; made in Austria or Czechoslovakia. However, Czechoslovakia would have been part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire prior to the end of World War I. A superior quality made match box holder. The holder is made of gilt brass embellished with an array of bezel-set
cabochons
and faceted rhinestones with a cameo centerpiece. The underside of the case has a beautiful deep detailed design. In very good condition but showing regular signs of age. Case measures approximately 2 X 1 1/2 X 3/4 inches. The box of matches are for display only. You will receive the holder without the matches. Would make an excellent addition to your collection.
