Antique French Napoleonic Style Bronze Box with Sévres Attr. Inset plaque

About the Item

Dimensions - H: 4 1/2 in W: 6 3/4 in D: 4 1/2 in This exquisite Antique French Napoleonic Style bronze box captures the imperial grandeur and refined craftsmanship associated with the decorative arts of 19th-century France. Richly detailed and elegantly composed, the box features a beautiful bronze surface adorned with etched floral and foliate motifs, exemplifying the opulence and neoclassical influences of the Napoleonic Empire style. At the heart of the box's lid is a finely crafted hand-painted porcelain plaque, attributed to the famed Sèvres manufactory—renowned for its exceptional quality and association with European royalty. The inset plaque is framed by an ornate etched border and depicts a romantic 18th-century pastoral scene or classical portrait, rendered in soft, vibrant colors with a level of detail indicative of Sèvres’ artistic legacy. The entire composition is framed by intricately tooled bronze panels, with each side of the box featuring engraved decorative flourishes, from delicate garlands to acanthus scrollwork. The interior, once used for storing precious keepsakes or writing implements, remains functional and elegant, making this a perfect piece for use as a desk accessory, jewelry box, or decorative objet d'art. This piece beautifully embodies the neoclassical ideals favored during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, blending classical inspiration with French artistry. It is ideal for collectors of Empire style antiques, Sèvres porcelain, or 19th-century French decorative arts, and would be a striking addition to a curated study, boudoir, or fine objets collection. The piece is in good antique condition with the exception of some light surface scratches, Minor tarnishing and normal age related wear. As to be expected with items of age and use. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out and ask! - D&P Luxuries
