A delicate testament to an era when every object elegantly accompanied daily gestures, this exquisite rosary box is crafted from an iridescent mother-of-pearl shell, subtly encircled by a finely chiselled silver-plated metal mount.
Its elongated shape, typical of cases for rosaries or small devotional objects, opens to reveal an interior lined with antique blue silk, now patinated by time, which gives it all its charm and authenticity.
The two small clasps work perfectly and ensure secure closure, adding to the refinement of this intimate and precious object.
One can easily imagine this box slipped into a bag or carefully kept in a drawer, a guardian of personal and spiritual memories.
💫 Please note:
The mother-of-pearl has old cracks on both sides that bear witness to its history. These marks of time do not detract from its charm but should be taken into consideration. The price reflects this.
