French Porcelain Ormolu Gilt Egg Box Forget Me Not Flower Bow Palais Royale

About the Item

This is a stunning antique French Belle Epoque - Victorian egg box in porcelain with gilt ormolu mounting and hand painted decoration of pink ribbons and bows with Forget-me-not flowers. The delicate romantic egg box is exquisite. The hand painted porcelain design of Forget-me-not flowers with the ribbon and bow motif is just wonderful and the colors epitomize the French Belle Epoque. The porcelain egg is mounted in gilt ormolu. The design with the Forget-me-not flowers indicates that the box was most likely intended as a repository for treasured items. The box is hinged and opens so you may place a treasured memento or keepsake inside. The box dates to the Belle Epoque period, circa 1870-1910. The egg box is 3 1/4 inches (8.5 cm) tall, and is 2 inches (52 mm) wide.
