Napoléon III French Velvet Box French antiques Glaze losses and small nicksA beautiful Napolon III French velvet box with a tufted silk interior, decorative brass medallion, and petite round feet. The exterior is wrapped in a faded neutral golden green velvet and accented with nailhead trim, while the interior features ruched and buttoned silk in a delicate pinkish peach tone.
