Wood Jewelry Chest & Costume Set
Sold for: $45
Description
An upright wooden jewelry chest featuring a two-door front. The left door is stationary with two decorative floral-etched glass panels, while the right door opens on brass hinges to reveal a mirrored interior compartment equipped with a rotating brass-tone necklace carousel. The interior left side houses four pull-out drawers, each finished with a decorative metal knob pull. The cabinet is constructed with a tiered base and traditional molded cornicing. Accompanying the chest is an extensive collection of costume jewelry including necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings, and pins. The collection features a diverse range of materials including faux pearls in white, cream, and pink tones; molded and faceted glass beads; plastic and Lucite beads; wooden beads; and shell fragments. Notable figural pieces include a large carved grey stone elephant pendant on a black cord and a silver-tone heart pendant. The lot includes various gold-tone and silver-tone base metal chains, a multi-strand pink seed bead necklace with a circular focal point, and seasonal items such as a Christmas candle enamel pin. An earring card located within one of the drawers is printed with the text SARA, though the full name is obscured. A small circular pin features a logo with the letters U, B, and S in red and blue. The collection encompasses styles typical of the mid-to-late 20th century.
