Antique French Napoleon III Jewelry Casket, Miniature Vitrine Box with Thick Beveled Glass Georgian portrait miniature This is a museum pieceLovely antique French Napoleon III or Victorian era 2. 5" jewel casket or miniature vitrine, a lovely little box with thick beveled glass on top and all four sides, set in a rich gold or gilded pressed brass framework! Surely a souvenir of some sort and similar to the small French pocket watch caskets that we've had in the past though there is no place or region inscription on this one. Great to display a fine antique or heirloom pocket watch,
