High Covered Box In Straw Marquetry 19th Century Representing A Châtelet With Four Turrets

A real and pretty "Curiosity", a beautiful decorative object and quite representative of the romanticism in vogue in the 19th century, especially under Napoleon III where the "Troubadour" style was very popular in objects, literature, painting and furniture, but also Architecture where a study of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance was a rediscovery and source of imagination, ask Violet-le-duc... In short, this beautiful object is a tall box hidden in the architecture of a tall chatelet with four hexagonal turrets in the corners with pointed roofs like the central dwelling decorated with port windows and balconies in large numbers giving it its proud appearance, the pyramid roof (lid) covering the small chateau itself decorated with three generous "dog sitting" windows, the tops topped with a pearl of blue-green wood, which enhance the soft and blond color with satin reflections of the straw assembled in a neat marquetry and teeming with details and soft nuances. A rare and beautiful object not devoid of an old-fashioned charm and in good condition, a real beautiful piece in good condition of "Curiosity" from the middle of the 19th where the light plays on the facades....
