Description from the seller
Signed Limoges enamel box, handmade and signed – M. Mestour – refined atelier work – ca. 1950–1975
This high-quality studio piece is executed in multilayer relief enamel on copper/brass and is characterized by a rich, iridescent color palette in emerald green, gold, ruby red, and purple. The applied glass cabochons in warm amber and garnet tones give the object a jewel-like appearance and added depth.
The signature in gold points to work by an individual Limoges enameller, rather than mass production. An elegant and decorative collectible that represents the refined French enamel art from the mid-20th century.
