An exceptional and fine antique French silver mounted mother of pearl box and with an exquisitely carved ducal with a maiden holding a coronet, elaborate monogram and a rod of Caduceus dating from circa 1800. The rectangular shaped box is beautifully made with polished panels of mother of pearl set within a silver metal framework attached with small silver metal pins and with a hinged cover.
