Art Deco watch collectors - this is your chance to own a stunning Cyma Tavannes watch box (believed to be circa 1920s-30s).
The rectangular shaped bottom is finished in gold and the domed lid is now a dark burgundy velvet. When you open the hotsell case (its hinge works perfectly), it reveals hints of the royal purple velvet that would have been the original colour of the outside lid.
There is a recessed rectangle where the watch would have sat but I do not have the actual oval that the watch would have clipped on to. There is an off white braided rope finish between the outer gold casing and the inner velvet. The inside of the lid is an off white satin with the burgundy words “CYMA TAVANNES” in the centre.
The box shows some typical age related wear like flea bites to the gold finish and flattening of the velvet on the outside curves. Please review photos carefully and ask me any questions you might have.
If you purchase more than one item from my shop in the same order, I will automatically combine shipping costs and refund your overage. You can browse my shop at www.etsy.com/ca/shop/trinketsntreasuresbc
