Antique French Eiffel Tower Jewelry Box

Found at market in Paris, we are so pleased to present this delightful Antique French Jewelry Box featuring the Eiffel Tower as it stood during the 1900 Paris Exposition. A generously proportioned box, it is fashioned from thick, beveled glass and framed in gleaming gilt metal.

Of all the man-made structures in the world, one of the most recognizable, romantic and beloved is certainly Gustave Eiffel's magnificent tower. Officially unveiled at the Paris World's Fair of 1889, the Eiffel Tower originally had a surprising number of critics. Among other things, it was considered an abominable eyesore. Today, however, the tower is regarded as architectural wonder, attracting more visitors than any other paid tourist attraction in the world. Replicas of the Eiffel Tower, both large and small, have been popular souvenirs for visitors to the tower since its opening.

Purchased as a fine souvenir, this romantic touchstone is sure to bring the lasting, refined elegance of 1900s Paris to your home. With a sweet nostalgia and an optimistic spirit, this magnificent keepsake still seems to glow from within, eternally lit by the grand tower.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In very good antique condition with wear to the original lining. 6.5"W x 4.5"L x 4.5"H.
