this type of wild cherry trees, prunus malaheb present in the Nancy region were used for making small decorative items in the workshops of César Bagard in the 17th century.
here an artist from the 19th century took up the spirit of Bagard's works to create a sarcophagus-shaped box containing the beauty canons of Bagard's works: flowery and foliage scrolls and florets.
it opens with two lids including a small one placed at the top of the first.
a tiny missing at an almost invisible angle and a superb original patina.
an original box and in very good condition.
