Vintage jewelry boxes

Vintage and antique jewelry boxes and trinket boxes

Here you will find porcelain trinket boxes from Limoges and England, Portmeirion and Villeroy & Boch boxes, glass vanity jars, French faience, Chinese and Japanese lacquered caskets, Russian folk-art wooden boxes, Italian micromosaic pill boxes and antique cardboard boxes with lithographed lids. They are small, collectible and well suited to gifts or to display on a dressing table.

What to look at in a jewelry box

• Lid and hinges: check that the lid sits properly and that the hinge or clasp works.
• Lock and key: the listing says whether a key is included.
• Lining: silk, velvet or paper linings age first, and stains or wear are mentioned.
• Rim and underside: glass and porcelain boxes often chip on the lid rim, so we photograph it.

Shipping from Spain

Boxes are small and light, but fragile. They are shipped by tracked courier after 1–3 business days of preparation, with the cost calculated at checkout. The delivery policy explains the process.

Frequently asked questions

Are "Limoges" boxes always from Limoges?

Not always. Titles distinguish "Limoges" from "Limoges style", which describes a piece that follows the tradition. Please read the title and look at the photograph of the mark.

Can I use an antique box to store jewelry?

Yes, for occasional storage. Old linings and metals can mark or stain, so avoid keeping delicate jewelry in direct contact with them for long periods.
