AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning bronze pillbox/trinket box depicting a horned devil with arms and legs splayed, holding a cloth.
At that time, representations of devils were very popular in decorative arts. Inspired by the theatre, fantasy literature, and the bohemian spirit of the Belle Époque, this motif added a theatrical and original touch to bourgeois interiors.
Beautiful quality bronze with a lovely patina of the original gilding.
Dimensions: 15 cm x 8 cm
Height: 5 cm
Quite heavy for its size
Era: 20th century
Good overall condition with signs of wear consistent with age.
