Box - Enamel

Enamelled copper box with a metal mount – late 18th century

Enamelled copper box, shaped in form, decorated with polychrome enamels featuring a central architectural landscape depicting buildings and a church in a rural setting.

The item is equipped with a metal frame applied to the edges, which reinforces the profile and integrates the original lid hinge.

Shipping

The item is shipped from Switzerland.
For shipments to the European Union, longer delivery times should be expected and possible import costs (VAT, duties, or customs clearance charges), at the purchaser's expense.

Traditional mail is the most economical solution, but not the fastest or the most reliable in terms of delivery times. If you choose this method, I cannot guarantee timely delivery.
If requested, we can evaluate other carriers (DHL, UPS, FedEx, etc.) with a personalized quote.

Careful packaging, appropriate to the object's fragility.
