Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Jewelry case / French Rocaille Jewelry Box (Louis XV Style) – 19th/20th century
Elegant tabletop jewelry box in cast metal (antimony/brass) with a polychrome finish in gold and copper patina. The bombé-shaped body rests on four curved, raised feet with sinuous lines. The lid and sides are entirely decorated with raised ornamental motifs in Rocaille taste, displaying cartouches, volutes, shells, and floral accents. Exterior base with incised raised marking: "DÉPOSÉ 248".
Louis XV Style / Napoleon III Period (France, late 19th century or early 20th century).
Shows natural wear to the gold patina from age, giving it a coppery tone.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
