An antique jewelry casket with substantial hand-cut crystal and brass-mounted frame. Not authenticated, but it belonged to a family collection of Baccarat and Lalique pieces, and matches another Baccarat box in design and hardware. Priced honestly at $595 with condition disclosed.
This is an antique jewelry casket with hand-cut crystal and gilt brass mounts. It's not authenticated, but here's what we know: it was part of a family's collection of Baccarat and Lalique crystal pieces. Similar Bacarrat pieces of this time had paper labels, likely why there is no marking on the item. Visually, it matches another confirmed Baccarat casket box from a similar period—same proportions, same cut pattern, same design approach.The brass hardware is identical on both pieces: round ball feet and hinged lid, both stamped Made in France.
That's not proof of maker, but it's substantial context. The quality and construction are consistent with early 20th-century French crystal work. The hand-cutting is real. The brass is original. The piece is old.
It's been loved, appreciated, used and displayed. There are a few flea bites scattered through the crystal. A chip along the lip edge under the hinge. The hinge is stressed. The bones are solid and the work is genuine.
The other similar piece is priced at $4,250 - discounted to $2,500. At $595, this box is priced for an antique piece with provenance context but no maker authentication—and honest condition.
