Florentine 19th Century Ebonized Fruitwood And Pietra Dura Marble Box

A most charming Florentine 19th century Ebonized Fruitwood and Pietra Dura marble box. This wonderful box is raised by four toupie shaped feet supporting the body of the box decorated by intricately carved linear patterns.

An elegant mottled band with scalloped designs frames exceptional Pietra Dura marble lid depicting a floral bloom.
