Small box or casket in cut crystal (most certainly from Le Creusot* or Baccarat), bronze and gilded brass frame decorated with a plant frieze, lock entry chiseled with two cornucopias, leafy rosette on the top, from the Charles X period, 19th century. This casket is in good condition. We do not have its key. Please note: some micro-chips and scratches on the crystal, the frame will need to be re-cleaned, wear and tear, see photos. *Cristallerie du Creusot: In 1787, the King's Council of State decided to transfer the Queen's Crystal Factory from Sèvres to Montcenis. Built on the plans of Barthélémy Jeanson, the buildings house workshops, offices, accommodation for administrators and workers as well as the ovens, installed in two conical halls. Until its acquisition in 1832 by the Saint-Louis and Baccarat establishments, the crystal factory enjoyed great influence. Eugène Schneider, who had become manager of the forges and workshops of Le Creusot, bought the buildings of the old crystal factory, which he made his residence. The Château de la Verrerie, a Historic Monument, is owned by the town of Le Creusot. Dimensions: 8 cm x 8 cm Height: 13 cm Reference: E10 288 All photos are on: www.antiques-delaval.com
