Round carved wooden box with its key - Beethoven profile medallion - 19th

About the Item

Louis XVI style carved wooden jewelry treasure box. The wood is carved in relief with foliage decoration all around, and the profile of Beethoven is very nicely and finely carved on the lid, This profile in a circle and the play of colors and textures of the wood gives a medallion in the taste of the bronze work of Jean Bertrand Andrieu. The interior is in green silky fabric. La Boite is also in the style of T. Hingre's bronze work. Louis-Théophile Hingre (sometimes known as Théophile Hingre) is a sculptor, modeler and medal engraver. The wood of this pretty round box is beautifully and finely carved. Beethoven's profile like the scrolls are sculpted with great precision and delicacy. Ludwig von Beethoven is a German composer, pianist and conductor, born in Bonn on December 15 or 16, 1770 and died in Vienna on March 26, 1827 at the age of 56. The last great representative of Viennese classicism (after Gluck, Haydn and Mozart), Beethoven prepared the evolution towards romanticism in music and influenced Western music for a large part of the 19th century. ​
