Set of 3 antique boxes to be fixed under glass – Neoclassical and Romantic scenes – Early 19th century



Detailed description:

Very beautiful set of three antique boxes decorated with miniatures under glass, known as 'fixés sous verre,' typical of Franco-German production from the early 19th century (around 1830–1850).

Contents of the lot:
• 1 large round box: a superb neoclassical scene depicting two female figures near a monument, decorated with a gold frame featuring foliage motifs. Beautiful original colors, landscape background with ancient architecture in the distance.
• Dimensions: approximately 16.5 cm in diameter.
Two small round boxes
Depicting three women in a rural landscape, including a winged figure reminiscent of an angel.
The other depicts a romantic scene with a young officer and an elegant woman.

Good overall condition considering the age. Some signs of wear on the edges and slight traces of time inside. The glass-mounted fixtures are intact and the colors well preserved. Very decorative and rare in a complete set.

Probably France or Germany, around 1830–1850.
