An Exotic Cargo: A French Majolica Camel-Form Lidded Box, St. Amand, Circa 1870 This charming French majolica lidded box is a delightful example of the imaginative and naturalistic forms that characterized 19th-century majolica production. Crafted by the St. Amand pottery in circa 1870, the piece is a sculptural rendering of a seated camel, a subject that would have appealed to the era's fascination with exoticism and global trade. The camel is naturalistically colored and rests on a raised, mottled green ground, suggesting a desert landscape. The lid of the box is formed by the camel's loaded pack, which is meticulously detailed with a variety of goods. This top section is removable, revealing a square, hollow interior in a contrasting light blue glaze—a small, hidden surprise. The impressed mark "St Ad" on the base confirms its origin from the Saint-Amand-les-Eaux pottery. This pottery, which was active from the 17th century to 1920, was renowned for its high-quality, brightly colored tin-glazed earthenware, a technique known as faience in France. St. Amand's work, often featuring rich glazes and creative forms, was widely exported and highly sought after for both tableware and decorative objects. Majolica, with its vibrant glazes and playful designs, saw a resurgence in popularity in the mid-19th century, particularly in England and France. This camel-form box is a perfect example of how the pottery of this period moved beyond purely functional forms to create whimsical and narrative pieces. It reflects a world increasingly connected by trade and travel, where images of distant lands and their inhabitants entered the domestic sphere. This piece, from a private New York collection and with a provenance tracing to Jesse Davis Antiques...

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...
