Wooden Box From Saint Lucia Decorated With A Ducal Crown And Birds; Bagard, Nancy, 18th Century
A round wooden box made from St. Lucia wood, named after the tree from which it is made: the St. Lucia cherry tree, or false cherry, which once grew in a forest along the Meuse River.
This distinctive wood, with its reddish hues and a grain that allowed for very fine carving, was widely used in the 18th century, particularly by the Bagard workshop in Nancy, to which our example can be attributed.
This piece features a lovely design of two birds facing each other around a ducal crown surmounting leafy scrollwork.
Dimensions: diameter 13.5 cm, height 5.5 cm.
Visible historical restorations.
