Turtle with Crab Friend Trinket Box

This Faberge style trinket box is constructed from a pewter base. The box is hand enameled, and decorated with Austrian crystals. These beautiful keepsake boxes are similar in style to the jewelry boxes made famous by 19th century jeweler Carl Faberge, whose jewelry boxes are world renowned. Many of Faberge boxes were enameled, and set with crystals just like these trinket boxes. His boxes were even displayed by members of the Romanov Dynasty.
