The appearance of ancient caskets

According to historians, the caskets were created to store jewelry and ornaments. A couple of centuries ago, oriental craftsmen made unique small boxes of various sizes and shapes, which were decorated with lacquer wood resin. Since the craftsmen strove to be the best in needlework, they competed with each other using different processing methods. The craftsmen decorated the boxes with ivory, fabric, expensive stones and other elements. Such ancient caskets are still valued today as real masterpieces. Russian craftsmen created boxes with an unusual and cunning design. In some drawers, secret buttons were installed, after pressing which the box opened. This type of box has always been in demand.

Music boxes

Swiss craftsmen were the first to learn how to make music boxes. Here they created musical mechanisms that were installed in a box. When the box was opened, calm music was emitted.

Before caskets began to be produced with the help of equipment, all products were made exclusively by hand and usually to order. In those days, not everyone could afford caskets, since their price was far from small. Due to the fact that this attribute was made using precious jewelry, the box itself was considered a precious thing. Often they kept accessories that were cheaper than the box itself.

In addition to jewelry, watches, cigars, money, securities and other items were kept in boxes. Since ancient times, this attribute has been used to store valuables, trinkets and other accessories in it. The box can be called an item intended for decoration, the production of which is carried out exclusively by masters of their craft.
