A Very Unusual and Large French Pink/Peach Opaline Floral Enamel Decorated Ormolu Mounted Box. This large rectangular box is formed in an elongated octagonal shape with chamfered corners and a hinged lid. The body is crafted from pink to peach-toned opaline glass, its surface decorated with an overall diapered pattern of raised panels. Each recessed diamond panel is adorned with hand-painted enamel floral sprays, consisting of white petals tipped with blue and accented with green foliage. The decoration is consistently arranged across all surfaces, including the lid and sides, giving the box a uniform appearance. The lid opens on a hinge to reveal a polished opaline interior of the same peach tone, framed with a band of gilded ormolu. A wide ormolu mount encircles the midsection, serving as both hinge and clasp support. This mount is chased with a repetitive foliate design, forming a textured surface that contrasts with the smooth opaline glass. The mount’s gilding provides structural reinforcement and adds a decorative metallic border between the upper and lower sections of the box. The hinge runs the full width at the back, while the front is fitted with a small clasp mechanism, discreetly incorporated into the ormolu banding. Measuring substantially larger than typical decorative opaline caskets...

Heavy Antique French Baccarat Milky White Opaline Crystal Ormolu Mounted Box This opaline crystal box is formed in a rectangular shape with rounded edges and smooth contours, presenting a milky white surface consistent across all sides. The lid and base align cleanly, creating a unified profile when closed. The opaline body has an even opaque tone, and the interior mirrors the same finish, maintaining continuity between the inner and outer surfaces. Its proportions are balanced, and the glass shows no variation in texture, demonstrating a high level of material quality. The mounts are composed of gilt bronze forming a complete band around the upper and lower sections. This band is decorated with a repeated upright leaf motif, each leaf individually struck into the bronze to create a regular pattern. A circular flower clasp is positioned at the center front, displaying radiating petals and a central raised node. The hinge is fitted neatly within the mount at the back, allowing the lid to lift cleanly without interrupting the outline of the box. The gilding retains an even color, showing well-preserved ormolu throughout. The mounts sit firmly against the glass, indicating a precise and well-executed construction. The box is produced in high-quality opaline crystal associated with Baccarat’s work, known for its weight, density, and consistent coloration. It survives in mint condition, with no chips, cracks, or abrasions to the glass. The ormolu mounts remain structurally sound, and the decorative details of the leaf-pattern band and rosette clasp are clearly defined. The overall presentation reflects the high standards of French opaline caskets...
