If only it could tell us its story

The department store became well known for its high quality products and excellent personalized service

and some of the tiny 18k gold pique dots on the top of the box have been lost to time - letting you see how the work was measured out and inlaid

The cover glass is original and is slightly convex and polished

looks a bit like dirt

Antique 14k Mounted Victorian Micro Mosaic Plaque, The Pyramid of Caius Cestius, Roman ruins Old Paris Inkwell If only it could tellMicro Mosaic plaque depicting The Pyramid of Caius Cestius, Roman ruins, set into 14k gold, formerly a section of a superb Victorian Grand Tour bracelet. Itcomes from a rather large stash I bought as a Paris goldsmith's estate was auctioned off. Everything from jeweler's tools to unmounted stones, cameo, micro mosaics. Among those were sections of what must have once been a bracelet or perhaps even a necklace. I have 4, and they are listed separately.
