Additional information

Beautiful blown and cut crystal box with its gilded and chased bronze mounting and key. The hinged lid is carved with striated checkerboard motifs on the top and then widens by degrees to fit into the bronze mounting, decorated with a frieze of roses and sunbursts. The lower part repeats the same play of steps in reverse, followed by a decoration of carved lozenges. The whole rests on a base with four sabot feet flanked by leaves. Probably Le Creusot crystal.
Charles X period.
