Vintage Florence Italy Oval Trinket / Jewelry Box – Victorian Revival Imitation Jet – Raised Rose Design – Layered Paint Finish – Burgundy Velvet Lining

Step back into the romance of mid-20th-century Italy with this beautiful vintage trinket/jewelry box, crafted in Florence, Italy. Measuring approximately 6 1/4" long x 5" wide x 2" high with the lid (1 3/8" without) and weighing about 11.0 oz with the lid / 6.0 oz without, this oval-shaped box is a lovely example of Victorian Revival style.

The box is adorned with raised carved roses on the lid and sides, highlighted in warm gold against a dark, almost black finish. Beneath the surface, a deep red base coat subtly peeks through — the result of a layered painting technique used by Italian artisans to give depth, richness, and an antiqued, timeworn charm. Over the decades, the gentle wear to the top coat has only enhanced its Old World character.

Inside, the box is lined in plush burgundy velvet, perfect for safeguarding rings, brooches, or keepsakes. The matching velvet bottom still bears its original gold “Florence Italy” label, proudly marking its origin.

Condition: Vintage with light surface wear consistent with age. The layered paint shows intentional red underpaint in areas where the top coat has softened over time, adding to its authenticity and charm. The velvet lining is in good condition with only minor signs of age.

Whether placed on a vanity, gifted to a collector, or used as a special hiding spot for treasures, this piece brings both beauty and a whisper of history into your home.
