Napoleon III Pill Box Enameled With Birds And Flowers, Vermeil
This lovely hexagonal box is enamelled on all sides with a semi-relief naturalist decoration on a nuanced brown background giving a tortoiseshell effect.
The top of the lid depicts two yellow and blue birds frolicking in flowering branches.
The six sides of the rim are decorated with semi-relief enamel flower garland motifs, all different.
The bottom is decorated with a bouquet of flowers in the same technique, surrounded by a circle of gilded fleurons.
Enamels on copper, hinged vermeil mount with a laureate garland motif. Interior in vermeil.
Vermeil not hallmarked, tested with a touchstone.
Please note:
Restoration in our workshop of the enamel on two corners of the box.
On the bottom of the box the gilding of the circle around the bouquet is slightly worn.
