Vintage Carved Stone Incolay Victorian Jewelry Trinket Box Pink Marie Antoinette

Vintage Carved Stone Incolay Victorian Jewelry Trinket Box Pink Marie Antoinette  Good vintage condition. There are a couple of cracks, it appears it may have been glued/repaired because it is not loose or wobbly at all. Moved it around, turned it and opened several ways and seems very solid. The interior removable tray looks like it may have had feet previously that are not on there. However, it fits perfectly inside.  Incolay stone is a complex combination of minerals including those composing Onyx, Malachite, Jade, etc. Selected minerals are crushed and ground into particle sizes forming and aggregate.  This box was hand carved by an artisan at Incolay Studios Inc.  It has a hinged lid and the bottom of the inside is covered in a soft orange velvety fabric.  The exquisite delicacy of 18th century carving is recaptured in the jewel case whose design compliments the authentic sculpture which dates from before the French Revolution. The carved borders are framed in interlaced wheat sheaves, fertility symbols which underscore the garden love scene. the interior of the box and the removable tray are patterned after royal jewel casques which were in vogue at the time of Marie Antoinette, no two are identical.
