"Lacquer Box In The Style Of Pillement, 18th Century "
Rare green lacquer and blown gold box, from the Regency period, adorned with delicate chinoiserie in the style of Jean-Baptiste Pillement. This refined decoration perfectly illustrates the 18th-century European craze for the Far East, in a light and poetic composition mixing exotic characters, stylized pavilions and dreamlike vegetation. The finesse of the gold line and the old-fashioned charm of the lacquer testify to exceptional craftsmanship and a typically Regency aesthetic, halfway between classicism and rococo fantasy. A precious collector's item, witness to the aristocratic taste for exoticism and oriental reveries.
