There is one cluster of the glass berries missing from the back side of the base

but it's exactly as we've found it and we'll leave the decision to its next owner

Fine Antique 19th Century French Floral Marquetry Jewelry or Watch Box, Ivory, Mother of Pearl Costume exquisitely detail in the handAn exquisite little treasure, mid 1800s pocket watch or small jewelry box or case, etui, with a finished rosewood interior and marquetry veneer of ivory and dyed mother of pearl in a floral motif. Elegantly finished with a brass pencil edge in heavy brass, and a push button opener that engages 2 pins. Definitely a one of a kind bespoke box, I've never seen another worked quite like this, in all my many decades of buying and museum wandering similar,
