Antique 19th Century Sèvres Style French Porcelain Trinket Box

Item Details:

• Design/Maker: Late 1800s Sèvres style French porcelain jewelry casket. Features an elongated octagonal shape with a domed lid finished in rich burgundy/claret ground. The central porcelain reserve is hand-painted with pink cabbage roses and forget-me-nots, framed by raised white enamel "jeweling" and heavy gold gilt scrollwork.
• Hardware: Bound by a gold-tone metal hinge rim and a front closure clasp sculpted into a three-dimensional ribbon bow design. Interior features hand-painted gold floral sprays.
• Historical Markings: Base features hand-painted underglaze markings: a blue interlaced "Ls" mark with a bottom terminal dot, and a black Roman numeral "III" artist/decorator code.
• Combined Shipping: Available! Please message me before paying if you are buying multiple items from this collection, and I will send a discounted invoice.

Condition Summary:

• Cosmetic: Excellent antique display condition. Paint and gold gilt remain bright with only light, uniform handling wear. Interior lid exhibits a few minor pink underglaze pigment transfer shadows from the original kiln firing. (Please see all HD photos).
• Mechanical/Structural: Measures approx. 5" x 3.25" x 2". Porcelain is entirely free of chips, cracks, hairline fractures, or repairs. Hinge functions smoothly; when fully closed, the lid sits slightly unaligned relative to the lower edge trim, which is typical for early hand-fitted French metal mounts.
