About the Item

Later Modified into a Card Case From our Collectables category, we are delighted to offer this English Chinoiserie Etui Nécessaire Card Case. The Necessaire of small petit with enamelled panels containing chinoiserie scenes of pagodas on islands and figures in boats mounted in heavy moulded and chased gilt scrollwork in form of c-scrolls and rocaille. Every single exterior panel on the box features chinoiserie scenes including the bottom. The interior of the Necessaire has been modified many years ago to contain a small partition across the centre which now contains two full packs of small gold bordered playing cards. The Chinoiserie Enamelled Etui Nécessaire Card Case dates to the late 18th century Georgian period during the reign of George III circa 1770. There is a small gold makers mark to the inside of the lid on the bottom right corner, unattributed. REFERENCE See Royal Collection Trust RCIN 23067 for an identical box See Musée du Louvre, Paris OA 2342 for a similar box also referenced in Les tabatières du musée du Louvre, Paris 1981 no.496 ENAMEL (VITREOUS ENAMEL) also known as porcelain enamel, is a material made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 °C. The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating. The word vitreous comes from the Latin vitreous, meaning “glassy”. CHINOISERIE from ‘chinois’ the French for Chinese. Chinoiserie was a style inspired by art and design from China, Japan and other Asian countries in the 18th century. At its height in Britain in the 18th century particularly 1750 to 1765, this fanciful style relied more on the designer or painters imagination than actually on accurately portraying oriental motifs and ornament.
