About the Item
Beautiful Boulle marquetry and blackened wood tea box / tea caddy, brass pattern inlaid, mahogany veneer inside. Mid 19th century circa 1840 - 1850, typical early Napoleon III period production.
A PG monogram is engraved in the brass cartouche on the lid.
Our box is signed Vervelle Aine : Alexandre Louis Vervelle, great Parisian cabinet maker, was born in 1800 and died in 1856 in Paris. The manufacturer's work is very well known in the capital for small pieces of furniture, jewelry boxes, tea boxes, travel sets, liquor sets.
