"Large 19th French Marquetry Box "
A very large box...With hinged lid and on the front the bottom which opens by folding...
From the 19th century around 1870...
FRENCH provenance...
With very fine sycamore marquetry...
With floral arabesques at the corners and a superb bouquet in the center...
On all visible sides, marquetry fillets highlight them... In pear veneer...
On a walnut background...
The rounded corners are made of walnut...
Some marks and losses due to the passage of time and use...!
The hinges are functional...
For the moment the key is missing, which I will try to have made...
Is this a special order because I have never seen this kind of box...
Weight... approximately 5 kilos
