Lisbon Jewelry Box — $95.00
“Alfama”

 

This unique Lisbon box is handcrafted and signed by Karen Kelleher Carneiro. A perfect home for jewelry, keepsakes or as a beautiful gift. Inspired by the narrow cobblestoned streets of the Alfama district in Lisbon, it is a one of a kind functional piece of art.

 

The wooden box has been enhanced with copper leaf and patinas in reds and browns. Protected with a glossy resin finish.

 

The decorative lid has my photograph of a red tiled roof houses in Lisbon and street lamps. A framed street lamp photo lies upon an intricate bronze embellishment. The sides are painted with lace designs in metallic gold and adorned with keys, flowers, embellishments and rhinestones. Green satin trim wraps around the top edge. The lid is hinged in the back with a front latch. The bottom is felt lined with crystal legs.

 

The interior is painted a metallic espresso and varnished. The padded bottom is lined with red taffeta. The interior lid is lined with a gold lace paper and embellished with a Portuguese tile.
