This is one of the nicest and most unique boxes I have found to date. This looks as though it should be in a Museum. It is a red leather box covered over with a ornate gold bronze filigree with all six sides showing porcelain pieces, hand-painted bouquets of flowers. The lining is superb, with a tucked, and buttoned, white, soft leather lining. This could have been added later as the gold trim around it doesn't look very old and I've never seen inside a French Casket that looked like this. However, it is rich and elegant, unique and gorgeous. In great shape. It is heavy and with its six sides. Circa 1850.
There are porcelain hand painted plaques on all sides, plus the top of the box. It looks like a pattern of Sevres but it is not marked
The box is 5 1/2" tall and 3 3/4" tall. Perfect on the bottom.
Absolutely stunning!
Lay a way is available!
