The lid features an intricate central floral medallion framed by a rich Sèvres celeste‑blue border, a classic palette associated with 19th‑century French porcelain. The box is fitted with an ormolu band and floral clasp, and the interior is finished in white with hand‑painted floral sprigs. The gently rounded sides and domed lip give the piece an elegant, uncommon silhouette. Condition: Good antique condition with age‑appropriate wear. The lid sits slightly off‑flush on one side, and there is a very small ding on the back. Light oxidation is visible around the interior ormolu, and remnants of old green felt remain on the underside from past use. The hinge is intact and functional. Dimensions: Approx. 4.5" at widest point × 3" H (base approx. 3.5", lid approx. 4"). A charming and colorful French cabinet piece, perfect for a vanity, desk, or display shelf.
