Description
A fabulous French jewel casket, dating from the reign of Napoleon III. The oval body is crafted on a gilt metal (ormolu) frame and has four pierced and cast legs. The exterior is decorated with exquisitely detailed pastoral scenes in silver plate and there is a shield shaped cartouche to the front of the lid. Inside, the casket retains the original silk lining with button detail. A superb example, highly decorative and with a practical use. A lovely gift idea, both practical and decorative.
