"Tortoiseshell Box And Miniature Portrait 18th Century "
Pretty little round tortoiseshell box whose lid is set with a miniature portrait representing a quality man in a wig. The treatment of the dotted paint reveals quality work. The rim of the portrait is probably gold. Uncommon due to its dimensions, this box is a nice piece of work. The shell is in good condition, small cracks visible in the photos but frankly without impact. Diameter: 5.1 cm Miniature alone: 3.8cm with strapping Height: 2.2cm.
