Oval Ivory Piqué-pigmented Medallion, Louis XIV Period

Sorry, no Export for this item out of Europe....
Very beautiful object, the lid of a Louis XIV or Regency snuffbox, of those oval and flat snuffboxes that we saw appear in France under the reign of Louis XIV, to contain the very popular "Nicot grass" . This oval ivory medallion, circled of metal, is studded with a thousand brass points, highlighting the contrasts of a classic arcature and garden design, pilaster, semicircular arch, foliage, fruit, character, pigmented in shades of brown in three or four shades. Superb creation of an anonymous Parisian tabletier.
The object is in good condition.
Dimensions: 9cm x 6.5cm. Take a good look at the photos ....
