An Exquisite Victorian Pietra Dura Grand Tour Campaign Collectors Box 1800's

About the Item

A Late 19th Century Mahogany & Ebony Pietra Dura Grand Tour Collectors Box Engraved Karlsbad, Germany The Lid Is Decorated with Marble And Agate Geometric Motifs. With Continental Silver Binding & Original Working Key. Interior features original marbleised decorative paper. In the middle of the 19th century, the bathing industry experienced a significant boom. With his publications about the Bohemian baths and the effects of their medicinal waters, the balneologist and imperial personal physician Josef von Löschner helped Karlsbad to flourish as a health resort of world renown. The decisive factor for this was the connection to the European railway network in 1870. Initially, operations began on the Karlovy Vary – Eger route and shortly afterwards the Prague – Karlovy Vary route followed.
