About the Item

A Beautiful and Quite Large 19th Century French Ormolu Mounted Footed Crystal Box. The top crystal is domed and sits on a hinged ormolu mount with a seashell clasp. The crystal is all hand-cut with a prismatic octagonal motif. The upper and lower mounts are each hand-chased and hand-chiseled with fine details of acanthus leaves. The box is mounted on four lions paw feet cast from ormolu. The crystal is very dense and the best quality, representative of Baccarat crystal, the highest quality and densest French crystal that was produced in the 19th century. Boxes of this size, quality, form, and decoration are extraordinarily difficult to find as not many of them were produced and the hand-work of this one in particular is astonishing. France, Circa: 1890
