Description :

Fun vintage decorative pairing featuring a hot pink/fuchsia velvet jewelry or trinket box and a figural cast-metal mermaid bottle opener.

The jewelry box has a wonderfully bold Hollywood Regency-inspired look with plush velvet covering, hinged lid, matching velvet-lined interior and four ornate antiqued metal cabriole-style feet. 

Also included is a substantial cast-metal mermaid bottle opener, featuring a reclining mermaid with raised arms forming the opener. The aged verdigris-style finish gives it an appealing nautical/vintage appearance.

Approx. Measurements
Jewelry box approx. 7–9 in. wide x 5–7 in. deep x 4–5 in. tall
Mermaid opener approx. 6–8 in. long

Condition
Good vintage pre-owned condition. Velvet remains bright and vibrant with some light surface and storage wear. Interior appears clean overall. Metal feet show intentional antiqued patina and age-related wear. Mermaid bottle opener has substantial aged patina/oxidation consistent with its decorative finish. Please review photos for exact condition.

Historical Note
Velvet-covered trinket boxes on ornate metal feet were popular decorative accessories during the later 20th century, borrowing heavily from Victorian and Hollywood Regency styling. The intense hot-pink velvet makes this example particularly fun for maximalist, retro or eclectic interiors. Figural mermaid bottle openers are longtime nautical and barware collectibles and pair nicely with the box as an unusual decorative lot.

Est. Value
45–75
