The silver-ringed lid opens onto a landscape view.

Louis XV period.

The silver mounting bears 18th century hallmarks.
Visible cracks in the enamel; the inside of the lid is slightly missing.

Length: 6.5 cm.
Depth: 4.8 cm.

This box is one of the so-called "objets de vertu". These were precious objects, sometimes for real domestic use, but more often used as gifts. They are distinguished by their refinement, demonstrating the skill and virtuosity of the craftsman who made them. Very much in vogue from the 17th century onwards, this fashion lasted until the mid-19th century.
