Antique Belle Époque Wooden Souvenir Keepsake Box - Nice

souvenir noun \sü-və-nir\ : something that serves as a reminder.
from the French, (se) souvenir to remember.

Lovingly collected at a market outside of Paris, we are delighted to present this captivating Belle Époque Wooden Souvenir Keepsake Box. An early travel memento dating from the turn of the 20th century, this nostalgic and romantic box served as a lasting memory from a special visit to that glittering town on the Côte d'Azur, Nice.

This romantic box was lovingly hand-crafted from honey-hued olive wood and hand-painted with a spray of romantic purple violets and sunny yellow mimosa blooms. The name Nice is painted in lovely cursive script while violet flowers frame a colorful image of the city's former pier and crystal casino.

With a chic provenance that recalls the glamour of the French Riviera, we are confident this storied keepsake box will share the sparkling magic of Nice with your home.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In very good antique condition. 3.25"H x 8" x 5.5".
