This little box is an antique French jewelry box. These werd made from around 1850 - the time of Napoleon III - until the start of the 20th century. These boxes were often used as a wedding gift, to keep rings and other trinkets safe. They were also sold as souvenirs. Most of the time you will find a little padded cushion in these boxes. This padding will often show some wear because of its old age. This particular box needs new padding.
These boxes consist of thick, cut crystal in a delicate brass frame. This item is in good condition. The shape of it is a bit more irregular, being sort of a boat shape. It only has glass on top and is made of brass otherwise. Dimensions are 10 x 7 x 7 centimeters (length x width x height).
