Antique 19th century Dresden gold embossed german Valentine’s candy container box with a wonderful and unusual sewn pillow like top that reads” FORGET ME NOT” with flowers surrounding it. The piece has a heavy like rope along the border of the pillow. The case, when opened, reveals a small vanity mirror and has intricate cardboard paper trim along the mirror and silk arms to open the box. Has a wonderful array of colors from pink, green, and yellow. The outside of the box is heavily embossed with dark gold, and the side trim is also beautifully inlaid with gold flowers throughout. I have never seen anything like this before in any book, and as I previously mentioned, it is so unique, especially with the elaborate top lid. It’s just a really exceptional example of an early German candy container box that I highly doubt you will find another example like it. The box measures approximately 4.25″ in length and 2.75″ in width and 1.50 in height. Overall condition: Has some minor corner bends on a few corners as shown. Has some minor paper loss to the back top edge where the top lid opens. Mirror has spotting as shown, but much of this is just simply age related wear as it’s an incredible survivor, considering it is made of a heavy cardboard and just a very delicate piece in nature.
