This 19th century hexagonal wooden jewelry box from Austria, dating to around 1890, exemplifies craftsmanship from the Historism period. The box features a handpainted surface that mimics wooden texture through a technique known as dough glaze, giving it a finely detailed appearance. Its decorative gilt floral stucco adornments cover the entire box, creating an elegant motif. Inside, the box is lined with green felt that has aged, showing minor bleached spots, and the hinged lid's center is embellished with an additional golden ornament. The box remains in notably good condition, preserving the artistic qualities characteristic of late 19th century Austrian woodwork. This jewelry box combines historical artistry with functional design, making it a valuable collectible piece.
