Antique French Grand Tour Style Souvenir Casket – Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp – Bevelled Glass
A charming antique Grand Tour style souvenir casket featuring an image of the famous Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp, Belgium, displayed beneath a bevelled glass lid. The cathedral’s distinctive Gothic spire is clearly recognisable and makes this an appealing historical travel souvenir.
The casket is constructed with bevelled glass panels housed within an ornate gilt metal framework and raised on decorative feet. The hinged lid opens to reveal traces of the original silk-lined interior, making it ideal as a jewellery box, keepsake casket, or decorative cabinet piece.
Dating from the late 19th century, this attractive souvenir would have been purchased by travellers visiting one of Belgium’s most celebrated landmarks.
Measures approx 6cm x 6cm
Displays age-related wear throughout, including tarnishing and patina to the metalwork, wear and losses to the image beneath the glass lid, and deterioration to the original interior lining. Please inspect photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
