About the Item
A superb and richly detailed Large 19th century French green cut crystal and gilt bronze box in the refined Louis XVI style. This exceptional piece is crafted from vibrant emerald green crystal, intricately cut in a diamond-point lattice intersected with octagonal facets, creating a striking visual play of light and color. The rectangular form, with elegantly rounded corners, is adorned with finely cast ormolu mounts, including a continuous frieze of acanthus leaves that gracefully wraps around the upper rim. A beautifully detailed bronze escutcheon, shaped as a laurel wreath, frames the keyhole at the center of the front panel, adding a touch of classical grandeur.
The domed hinged lid mirrors the precise cutwork of the body, and the deeply faceted crystal surfaces maximize brilliance and refraction. The seamless union of the upper and lower halves is achieved through a two-part gilt bronze mount, mechanically fitted along the edges and secured by a finely constructed clasp. The overall composition exudes balance and refinement, while the crispness of the faceting speaks to a high level of craftsmanship.
Boxes of this level of sophistication were highly sought after during the later half of the 19th century, especially by the elite clientele of Parisian luxury houses. The striking combination of richly colored crystal, finely cast gilt bronze, and neoclassical detailing reflects the refined artistry of France’s most esteemed ateliers. With its impeccable craftsmanship and graceful design, this piece exemplifies the grandeur of its origins—making it a truly exceptional addition to any collection of 19th century objets de luxe.
