Box In Solid Silver 800, Curved Shape, Decorated With A Galant Scene - Louis XV Style, 19th Century

Solid silver 800 box, domed shape, gallant scene decoration - Louis XV style, 19th century

Elegant solid silver box with a title of 800, with a curved and domed form, made in the taste of the Louis XV style in the 19th century.

The lid is richly adorned with a high-relief decoration depicting a lively gallant scene: several characters gathered around a central female figure, in a musical and festive spirit, evoking the country and intimist scenes of the 18th century. This composition is framed by a finely chased rocaille decoration, blending scrolls, foliage and floral motifs.

The box's perimeter echoes this decorative vocabulary with cartouches and scrolls in relief, offering beautiful ornamental continuity and a particularly pleasing play of light.

The interior features a smooth surface with the natural traces of time, testifying to its authenticity.

Beautiful craftsmanship for this decorative piece, both refined and expressive, characteristic of Louis XV-inspired production in the 19th century.
