    Here is this nice decorative Trio of Jewelry boxes..(I presume..??)
    The inside is covered with an old black crumpled velvet material...The back ornate inges are a little shaking but still on....
    But at least the serie is complete...???At first glance...The metal used had a little yellowish appearance...But after discretely rubbing few parts..This White Silver color is coming back....(I don't pretend it is Silver...)But the metal used is quite thin ,bright and shining with those Oriental Symbols on top....(Dragon..etc..)
    Dim of the 3 are: A 12cmL x 7.5 H
    B 10 cmL X 6 H
    C 8cm L X 4.5 H
    Don't have a clue where they come from...But an Oriental influence they have..
    Might be Copies for Tourists or not ..But they look quite "Mignonnes and Petites" Could be a nice present for Jewelry box.
    Looking forward to your responses ,Acknowledgement and Facts....JB 009.JPG 010.JPG 011.JPG 012.JPG 013.JPG 014.JPG

    They're interesting. Pictures of the bases and insides (rather than just descriptions) would probably help the experts identify them.

    They're from India - that ribbed velvet lining is absolutely typical. (Yes, I KNOW those are Japanese style dragons, but people copy stuff!) Brass and white metal.

    I think their northern neighbours, Nepal. The dragons are Himalayan style, as is the way they are appliquéd. The handles are like on Indian brass boxes.
    The way brass souvenirs are crafted in Nepal is often similar to India, but the Himalayan dragons are a sign of 'up north'.:)
    Just my opinion: Yes to "Mignonnes" (but so many things are), and no to putting in an offer.:sorry::bag:

    Could be: they probably buy the velvet from the same place!

    Think so, probably Indian velvet. I have a Nepali bone trinket box with the same purple velvet.

    using the same size hinges...on all the boxes....not a lot of quality there !!
    5 euro's may be too much..
