Buyer's Premium:

A wooden box of rectangular form, featuring a polished finish with natural grain patterns. The lid is decorated with a hand-painted scene depicting two figures in traditional Spanish dress: a woman in a green flared skirt and a man in a red waist sash. The interior is lined with light blue fabric and contains a rectangular mirror within the lid, framed by a matching twisted cord border. To the right of the lid decoration, there is a script inscription within a stylised banner reading MALLORCA, preceded by a capital letter S. The box contains an assortment of jewellery items including multiple strands of imitation pearls, a gold-toned wristwatch with an expandable link bracelet, and several loose beads in red, green, and black. No other maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the box.


Condition report:

The wooden exterior shows minor surface scratches and a light accumulation of dust (photo 1). The hand-painted decoration remains intact with no visible loss. The interior light blue fabric lining shows signs of wear and light discolouration, particularly around the edges of the mirror and the base of the compartment (photo 2). The mirror surface appears clear. The included jewellery items show varying degrees of surface wear and light tangling.
