AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant patinated iron cigarette case with gold metal inlays, made following the aesthetic of the Japanese Meiji period. This piece is an excellent example of French Pont-à-Mousson production, which in the late 19th century captured European fascination with Oriental art through the damascening technique.
On the front is a detailed landscape composition showing Mount Fuji rising over a traditional village with thatched huts, twisted pines, and a fisherman in his boat. On the back, a minimalist and elegant scene of birds in flight beneath the full moon. Edges decorated with a delicate geometric meander in Asian style.
