Description from the seller
Antique French metal box decorated with architectural scenes
Magnificent antique French decorative box, rectangular with a hinged lid, made of metal and richly decorated with ornamental motifs and architectural scenes.
The lid features a central composition with a landscape and architectural view in blue-toned hues, framed by a rich ornamental border. The sides of the box likewise display different views of buildings and landscapes, accompanied by relief decorative motifs inspired by classical design.
The borders and sides are especially striking, with ornamental relief elements that run along the entire piece. The interior also preserves repousse metal decoration, including ornamental motifs on the inner part of the lid.
The piece exhibits a very characteristic old patina, with signs of wear, superficial tarnish, and losses in certain areas of the decoration, particularly inside and on the outer surface. These signs are visible in the photographs and form part of the character and history of the piece.
Origin: France, confirmed by the antique dealer.
