Antique French Opaline Sugar Casket, Box, Jewelry Chest, Napoleon III Era, c. All items and photos are the express property of Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. No reproduction without prior written consent. We’ll be sending out sale notices and special deals to our’Favorites’ customers. We used to offer the very most beautiful and special early 1800s French opaline treasures: sugar caskets, opaline egg items. We’ve gotten away from them owing to the scarcity. But we’re happy to have found one of the simpler and perfect 19th century sugar caskets in fine white opaline glass, dore bronze mounted with a working lock, but no key at listing time. We’ll go through our stash and see if we can fit one to it, but at listing time it’s priced without key. Should we locate one, we’ll annotate and price accordingly. These are often thought to be jewelry boxes, but in fact they hail from a time when sugar was such a precious commodity it was reserved only for the wealthy, and locked away so servants wouldn’t consume. Very good to excellent condition throughout. Not a single flaw to note on this one. No tiny nips or chips, no cracks, the framework is in fine undamaged condition, also. All it lacks is the old original working key. We’ll try to locate a replacement from among our stash of old keys. Can’t promise we will. The casket’s measurements are noted on the photos. Please know that it is white semi-opaque opaline glass. My photos are FAR inferior. We’ll replace photos later on. The box is 5 18″ long, 3 1/4″ front to back and 4 1/4 tall when closed. Size helps us date these. The very smallest ones are the earliest. We’re easy to deal with. You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 – 5 star ratings in all categories.
