{My French Ormolu Jewelry Box got new Bottom}

For several years I'd been looking for 5mm gold nails with claws, for replacing the bad looking old ones in the worn velvet of my French Ormolu Jewelry Box's Bottom...
So finally I found them in France and Claudia from NuNu's Garn-und Stofflabor did put the new bottom together for me.
You can click the above link for reading her post about this job.
This is my Antique French Ormolu Jewelry Box...
It was again a very sunny day and I loved to fill this tiny white vase with fragrant Ginger Lilies.
It does have a beveled glass top and four side panels.
Here is the new Bottom, made by Claudia...
She did replace this stained and worn velvet bottom...
That fabric could not be salvaged...
So we found the 5mm Gold nails with claws and Claudia used some Suedine, that she uses for her Bear making, creating the foot soles.
This is the end result.
My silver Angels feel very much at home for the time being, as long as they reside at: Mariette's Back to Basics my boutique on line.
Once they all get adopted, I can fill it with my own jewelry.
Photo taken with the lid opened for a better color.
Thank you Claudia!

  7. I have already told you how much I learn from your blogposts, dearest Mariette!!! Ormolu was an unknown word to me, I did not know it had to do with the french "or moulu". Now, with the new bottom created by your friend, you can enjoy your beautiful jewelry box again! Your angels are so cute, I am sure they will get adopted very soon!
    I wish you a lovely weekend, my dear friend!
    Many hugs from Greece!!!
