It has no lining, all metal inside.
Jewelry caskets, or fancy jewelry boxes, are very old, with examples used in Ancient Egypt around 5000 BC, but the ornate, cast metal ones popular as collectibles peaked from about 1900-1925 (Victorian/Art Nouveau). They have existed for millennia, evolving from simple containers in ancient civilizations to elaborate Art Nouveau/Deco designs, and can range from thousands of years old (ancient Egyptian) to just decades (vintage 1950s).
Victorian & Art Nouveau Era (Most Common "Caskets") Peak Production: The term "jewelry casket" often refers to cast metal boxes popular from the late 19th century through the early 20th century, especially 1904-1918. Styles: These were often Art Nouveau or Edwardian, featuring gold/silver finishes, silk linings, and intricate designs (flowers, scrolls). Materials: Common materials included wood, papier-mâché, and later, plated cast metals.
