AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning and authentic ladies' casket (jewelry box or travel necessaire) from the 19th century, made by the prestigious Fenoux house, a luxury trunk maker located under the galleries of the Palais-Royal in Paris (Nos. 119, 120 and 121).
This display piece testifies to the refinement of Parisian leather goods during the Louis-Philippe / Napoleon III era (circa 1850-1870).
Noble wood construction fully veneered in brown/burgundy leather with an elegantly curved (undulating) shape. The lid is adorned with corner escutcheons in finely engraved silvered and gilded metal, a central appliqué plate depicting a bouquet of daisies, and a relief butterfly motif on the leather.
Interior: Remarkable original turquoise blue silk (or satin) button-tufted lining, preserved in exceptional condition for its age.
• Signature: Original stamp printed in gold letters beneath the box: “FENOUX. 119. 120 et 121. PALAIS ROYAL”.
Nice overall period condition with a superb patina from use on the leather, noting slight cracks and a stain in the front-right corner. The blue interior buttoning is clean. Original lock present, as well as its key which turns a 1/2 turn but does not operate (I did not dare to force it).
I offer you the opportunity to bid on an extremely rare collectible piece in this condition.
Happy bidding to all.
As with all my items put up for auction on this site, this marvel has undergone no cleaning (just dusting), nor modification since purchase.
Look carefully at the photos which form part of the description. Any damage not mentioned in the text but visible in the photos is considered described.
No shipping outside the EU; if you are outside the European Union you can bid on one of my lots however no claim will be possible in case of problems during transport. Given the new import/export regulations to the USA there will be no shipping to that country.
Carefully packaged professional shipping, with signature and insurance.
