Cherry wood and native wood box from the 18th century

About the Item

Very large slurry box with parts in native wood veneer, marquetry nets and geometric decorations in marquetry on the top. The box rests on four arched feet in the Louis XV style. This box was probably a wig box. Indeed, the wearing of wigs being very fashionable throughout the 18th century, these large flat boxes were used to store them. France, mid 18th century.
