19th Century French Papier Mache Black, Red, and Gold Chinoiserie Box

About the Item

Offered is an excellent example of 19th century French papier mâché in the form of a square box, decorated with gold and red Chinoiserie scenes on black lacquer. While Eastern in design, the Chinoiserie craze swept France in the 1800's, leading to the French production of paper mache decorative accents, decorated with a fantasized view of Chinese motifs.
