Large Vintage Gold Italian Dome Wooden Box Hand Painted Coppini Ugo

  
It was handmade circa mid 19th century by the Italian company Coppini Ugo who were known for their high-quality gold painted trays and boxes of all sizes and shapes. This engraved, gold dome-shaped box has hand painted flowers on the top and three sides.

It is in good condition except for the loss of some of the painted area from the top flower (see photo). There is a hinge at the back in good working order. Dimensions: 12 3/4" w x 8 1/2" d x 8 h. This is a definitely an eye-catching centerpiece, a fine example of Italian wood painting from the 1950's.
