AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare Masonic porcelain box – Lodge 'De la Trinité', Turin – 18th century
Rare and interesting Masonic box (probably a snuff box or sociability box) in painted porcelain, mounted in metal, decorated with a radiating triangle bearing Masonic symbolism, with inscription 'January 1764'.
The set depicts a stylized Masonic lodge: a symbolic triangle, an altar, and architectural elements, hand-painted in a palette typical of the late 18th century.
Inside the lid, there is an old handwritten inscription:
‘De la Trinité – Turin’, referring to a Masonic lodge active in Turin, an important Masonic center in the 18th century under Franco-Italian influence.
The reverse bears a blue-painted mark, attributable to a workshop or a painter, consistent with European artisanal production of this period.
Dimensions
53 × 39 mm
Good overall condition considering its age.
Signs of wear from use and an aged patina visible, with no apparent restoration.
Functional hinge.
