Vintage Egyptian Mosaic Jewelry Box – Handmade trinket box with Mother of Pearl

Description

This is a handmade vintage jewelry box from Egypt. These little storage boxes are handcrafted using different type of woods and shells. Most of them have Arabesque or Islamic patterns brought to life with inlays of Mother of Pearl, wood and sometimes Camel bones. Each piece was built carefully decades ago. They are vintage pieces, that have been restaurated in an original look. They might not be perfect but are instead a snapshot of the old days. Inside the box you will find a red velvet cloth.

I acquired my first boxes on a business trip to Cairo while working in Jordan. I visited Cairo’s most famous Souq, Khan El-Khalili. Strolling through the narrow aisles, you cannot ignore the wonderful handmade goods offered by the merchants. I especially fell in love with rugs, lamps and these little Mosaic boxes that come in many different shapes, sizes, and designs.

Condition & Care

We cleaned the boxes carefully. Please keep in mind that these are vintage products and not newly made. They might have color differences, imperfections, stains or alike. We try to only select the best items though and show you the condition in the pictures and videos. Boxes come empty, no contents.
