Magnificent antique French Empire Armorial Desk Box.

Elegantly designed box featuring four standing Swans with wings outstretched one to each corner. Superb mat and gloss finish to ormolu.

Purchased in France as a Grand Tour souvenir. Upon returning to England the box was dispatched to Henry Rodrigues of Piccadilly London to have a custom made Royal Armorial crest mounted onto the lid. The box has been signed by Henry Rodrigues

Silver monogram entwined FNA with Crown above.

Some tarnish to ormolu. A couple of marks to front which look to me like varnish or paint (see photographs). Black felt lined interior is a replacement.

Dating from Napoleon III period circa 1840.

SIZE:- 6 inches wide x 4 inches highest.
