Antique French Gilt Bronze Casket – Dated 17 & 20 Août 1872, High-Relief Figural Work An exceptional and museum-worthy antique French gilt-bronze jewellery casket, richly adorned in high relief and inscribed “17 et 20 Août 1872”, offering both historical significance and outstanding artistic craftsmanship. This remarkable 19th-century piece exemplifies the finest traditions of French decorative arts, featuring intricately cast and chased panels depicting romantic pastoral and mythological scenes. Each side presents finely sculpted figures – nymphs, cherubs, musicians, and classical subjects set within lush landscapes and framed by elaborate foliate scrollwork and naturalistic ornamentation. The lid is masterfully composed with dynamic figural decoration, while the casket stands proudly on sculptural zoomorphic feet, enhancing its dramatic presence and luxurious character. The deep relief work, combined with a warm, aged gilt patina, creates exceptional depth and visual richness. The engraved date suggests a commemorative or presentation piece, adding a rare layer of provenance and desirability for collectors of French ormolu, Grand Tour objects, and fine 19th-century bronzes. This is not merely a decorative object but a statement piece of historical artistry, ideal for collectors, interior designers, or high-end decorative settings.

The vanity box is of rectangular form extensively veneered in exotic coromandel and edged throughout with brass, incorporating double brass stringing to both the lid and front with a raised escutcheon to the centre. Opening the vanity box reveals a complete fitted interior comprising seventeen glass bottles topped with engraved sterling silver lids hallmarked for James Vickery, London, 1854. The quality of silver mounted fittings reflects the mid nineteenth century standard expected from a luxury retailer such as Mappin & Webb. The front panel folds down to reveal wing compartments which pivot outward through 180 degrees. Within sits a comprehensive mother of pearl handled tool pad incorporating a shoehorn, penknife, thread hook, multiple pairs of scissors, tweezers, file, needle and pricker. Beneath the tool pad is a concealed compartment accessed by depressing the retailer’s plaque positioned along the rear edge of the case. The retailer’s plaque reads: Mappin & Webb, Sheffield 158 to 162 Oxford Street & Mansion House Buildings London. With the wings extended, additional concealed drawers can be accessed by removing the rectangular jars positioned to the rear and depressing the back edge of each compartment base, activating a spring loaded latch mechanism. The underside of the lid houses a removable mirror bordered with gold tooling, designed to stand independently on its bracket. Behind the mirror is a further concealed compartment suitable for storing correspondence or documents. A fully fitted mid nineteenth century coromandel vanity box...
