French Sèvres Style White Ground Gilt Metal Mounted Rectangular Covered Box
-
Description
This exquisite French Sèvres-style decorative box embodies the elegance and craftsmanship synonymous with 19th-century European artistry. The exterior showcases a stunning hand-painted bouquet of flowers and foliate motifs, rendered in delicate hues of pink, purple, blue, red, and green, set against a crisp white porcelain ground. A lavishly gilt bronze frame encases the composition, enhancing its opulent appeal.
Resting on four sculptural sphinx-form feet, this rectangular box is a testament to neoclassical influences, blending artistic refinement with architectural grandeur. The gently domed lid is adorned with a romantic pastoral scene, depicting elegantly dressed figures enjoying a tranquil lake-side park setting, evoking the charm of 18th-century French courtly life.
The interior is lined with luxurious gilt silk fabric, further emphasizing its regal craftsmanship. In excellent antique condition, with only minor wear consistent with age, this rare and highly collectible piece measures approximately 9 inches in height, 13 inches in width, and 8.5 inches in depth. A statement of sophistication and artistry, this decorative box serves as both a functional treasure and a timeless display piece. -
