A Precious Gilded Bronze Box By Tahan, With A Flowing Design And A Pietra Dura Medallion

Artist: Tahan

The central medallion of this box is a hardstone mosaic depicting a sprig of lily of the valley. It is signed by the Tahan workshop, a cabinetmaker and maker of luxury items based on Rue de la Paix in Paris during the mid-19th century and a supplier to Napoleon III and Eugénie. This gilded bronze case is engraved with a floral design and accented, among other details, with beaded friezes. In the corners, alcoves feature standing figures. A beautiful, high-quality piece.
