About the Item

Empire Style Malachite and Gilt Bronze Box, 19th Century, Depicting Two Muses Holding a Cornucopia This 19th-century malachite box perfectly embodies the elegance and grandeur of the Empire style. Resting on a rectangular base of richly veined malachite, this refined piece is adorned with finely chased gilt bronze ornamentation, depicting two muses holding a cornucopia—a classical symbol of abundance and prosperity. The gilt bronze detailing is particularly striking, with delicate drapery, swirling volutes, and acanthus leaves showcasing the craftsmanship of the period. The combination of malachite—a highly prized ornamental stone known for its vibrant patterns and deep green hues—with opulent gilt bronze gives the box a luxurious and distinguished character. Ideal as a decorative accent on a desk, console table, or as part of a fine art object collection, this box is a rare testament to the sophistication of 19th-century French decorative arts. Condition: Excellent original condition, with a light, age-appropriate patina on the bronze. From a private collection.
