A beautiful jewellery box in Alhambra style made in Toledo, Spain. Toledo workshops during the 19th century specialised in the production of objects in Moorish style. These artefacts were very often realised with the technique of Damascening, that is the inlaying different metals into one another —typically, gold or silver are inlaid into a darkly oxidized steel background—to produce intricate patterns, much similar to the technique of niello. In this case the decoration features an architectural detail, a mirador: a room projecting from the exterior commanding scenic views of gardens or of the city.
