Antique French Kiln-fired Enamel Jewelry Casket, Box, Etui Tahan
About the Item
Very good to excellent condition for age and type, this one is superb with 5 intact panels of kiln-fired enamel, barely a fine fine hairline to be found, and no chips or cracks of note. Even the plethora of little raised white 'jewel' dots are there in full. I didn't see a single one missing, but you'll forgive me if I missed one, being so blinded by the overall beauty of this fine French casket. Interior lining is the old original, and as such, it shows its age in tattered silk, particularly that lining the lid. Still, better the original than nothing, and the bottom half is in quite presentable condition, after all. This one is also a rather unique elongated rectangular form we don't see often. Not to be missed! There is not a signature, but virtually all of this type were made for Tahan, marketed through their boutique in Paris, mid-1800s.
