The precise origin of this decorative artpiece is unknown, but it is believed to have been created in France during the eighteenth century. The box is intricately decorated with goldsmithery and email metal technique, displaying a stunning circular design. The blue hue of the box adds an alluring depth and contrast to the golden decorations. The close-up image offers a detailed view of the box's intricate decoration. The circular shape is adorned with intricate floral patterns and geometric designs, giving it an elegant and ornate appearance. The box's lid is further embellished with a miniature painting in gouache, depicting a scene of ivory horns and a watercolor background. This box is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the time and the artistic skills of the unknown artist. It is a rare example of the decorative arts of the 18th century, showcasing the fusion of various techniques such as goldsmithery, silverware, and painting.
