"Napoleon III Pill Box Enameled With Birds And Flowers, Vermeil"

This lovely hexagonal box is enamelled on all sides with a semi-relief naturalist decoration on a nuanced brown background giving a tortoiseshell effect.

The top of the lid depicts two yellow and blue birds frolicking in flowering branches.

The six sides of the rim are decorated with semi-relief enamel flower garland motifs, all different.

The bottom is decorated with a bouquet of flowers in the same technique, surrounded by a circle of gilded fleurons.

Enamels on copper, hinged vermeil mount with a laureate garland motif. Interior in vermeil.

Vermeil not hallmarked, tested with a touchstone.

Please note:

Restoration in our workshop of the enamel on two corners of the box.

On the bottom of the box the gilding of the circle around the bouquet is slightly worn.
