About the Item
Louis XVI Period Antique 18th Century French vari - coloured 18kt gold oval shaped box.
Makers Mark: LD
Made in France, Paris 1773oval-shaped
Fully hallmarked.
Amidst the opulence of the Louis XVI era, French craftsmen showcased their unmatched prowess in crafting ornate gold boxes, which were symbols of status and wealth, often presented as gifts amongst the aristocracy. This particular 18kt gold box, with its vari-coloured finish, is a sublime representation of that tradition.
Fashioned into a refined oval shape, its surface is adorned with intricate engine-turned patterns that gleam with the unmistakable touch of French artistry. The decorative applied plaques add to its splendour, while the lid, showcasing love birds, flaming torches and a bucolic gardening theme, narrates a story of romance and nature - a favoured motif of the Louis XVI period.
With the discernible Makers Mark of 'LD', and originating from the artistic heart of Paris in 1773, it is fully hallmarked, affirming its esteemed provenance.
