A wonderful miniature antique box originally made as a domino case, later perfect as a decorative trinket or keepsake box. The exterior features classic domino “pip” motifs inlaid in pale bovine bone, contrasted against a dark-stained body for that unmistakable Victorian look. A carved bovine bone finial tops the lid, adding a sculptural detail that makes this piece feel like a true curiosity-cabinet find.
Objects like this were popular in late 19th-century homes for parlor games and travel, and many surviving examples were repurposed over time for small treasures like rings, snuff, seals, or desk essentials. Compact, tactile, and full of character, it displays beautifully on a desk, bookshelf, or styled vignette.
