Description: This antique French box is a stunning piece that will surely catch the eye of any collector. Elegant round shape with an intricate etched silver and enamel design surrounding a round medallion decorated with an exquisite miniature rendition of the 1740 work attributed to Francois Boucher titled “Les Amours Pastorales.” It is an amorous scene with a woman being embraced by a man who is holding a small musical pipe to her mouth, likely instructing in the playing of the musical instrument. To the left of the couple is a basket of flowers, and the woman appears to be holding a staff leaning against the man’s leg. They are surrounded by aspects of a wooded landscape, such as trees and boulders. Made of 800 silver and enamel, with a gold vermeil interior, this box is a testament to the rich history of French artistry. It measures approximately 2 inches in diameter, 1 inch deep and 1.5 inch diameter opening. The inside of the lid has the French mixed gold and silver mark as shown in photo. The box is perfect for storing small trinkets or jewelry, and its exquisite design is sure to impress anyone who sees it. The item(s) are antique and sold as is/as found.
