Appraisal Report
This decorative box is likely a piece from the early to mid-20th century, possibly of Asian origin based on the design elements. The combination of metalwork with the inlaid blue material suggests a decorative function rather than practical use. Its aesthetic appeal, combined with craftsmanship, places its value within the mid-range for similar pieces seen at auction or antique shops.
