Beautiful Jennings Brothers, Hallmark Jewelry casket antique early 1900s .
The darkened silver-gray appearance has a wonderful aged antique patina. I have left the finish in its current condition rather than aggressively polishing it, allowing the age and character of the piece to remain visible.

Interior: Silk lined
Maker: Jennings Brothers, Bridgeport, Connecticut
Mark: J.B. “Signifies the Best” + other K OK and number mark, possibly artist etched
Style: Art Nouveau / Art Metal

NOTE: this item is very old and there are tears on the edges of the silk lining. On the hinge, one of the hinges is loose it does close and it does stay closed
Condition
Very good antique condition with expected age-related wear, surface oxidation/patina and minor imperfections consistent with an early 20th-century cast-metal object. The silk interior shows age and wear. Please examine all photographs carefully, as the photographs are an important part of the description.
A wonderful substantial Jennings Brothers casket for a collector of antique jewelry boxes, American art metal, Art Nouveau objects, or exceptional period.
