"Empty Pocket, Object Of Tabletterie Said Of The Royal Palace"
Young man dressed in the antique charged with a hood, a basket and a small candlestick in gilded bronze and mother-of-pearl, standing on a circular base in burnished sheet surrounded by a gallery in golden pompon openwork and finely worked, on three feet in stylized lion's legs. Precious object related to the art of tableting very popular in the early nineteenth century, typical of what was sold in the fashionable gallery of the Palais Royal in Paris. Around 1820. Gallery slightly veiled, mother-of-pearl parts redone, perhaps a little lack at the stem that holds the basket in the dress of the young man?
