AN ART NOUVEAU JUGENDSTIL 'FAIRY TALE' CASKET BY ERHARD & SOHNE
EARLY 20TH CENTURY
the brass inlaid mahogany casket with a domed cover, opening to reveal a plush lined interior, the sides of the casket decorated with scenes from fairytales including Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Hansel & Gretel and others
19 x 29 x 20.5 cm
Good overall appearance
There are some isolated areas of pitting and discolouration (one on the edge of the cover, one on the rear panel at the base) Both the arched brackets that allow the cover to open are loose, but this is pretty inconsequential.
The box has surface wear and scratches consistent with age and handling
