Description :

This Antique Brass Jewelry Box by JB (Jennings Brothers) is a beautifully crafted piece, featuring intricate embossed designs on the top and sides, often depicting floral or figurative scenes.

Jennings Brothers was a renowned American manufacturer known for producing high-quality decorative metalwork, including jewelry boxes, vanity items, and ornate trinket cases.

Details: 

  • Material: Made of brass, a durable alloy of copper and zinc, known for its sturdiness and elegant patina.
  • Design: Embossed or relief scenes on the top and sides, often featuring floral motifs, cherubs, or classical figures.
  • Interior: Fabric lining (velvet or velveteen), adding to its luxurious appeal.
  • Markings: The bottom has the "JB" stamp, indicating its Jennings Brothers origin.
  • Aging & Patina: Antique brass develops a darker, weathered finish over time, enhancing its vintage charm.

Jennings Brothers operated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, producing ornate Art Nouveau and Victorian-style metalwork. Their jewelry boxes were often gilded or silver-plated, making them highly collectible today.
