Antique French Bronze Casket with Porcelain Plaques

Antique French Bronze Casket with Porcelain Plaques

A spectacular late 19th century French bronze jewelry casket, richly ornamented with finely pierced scrollwork and inset with hand-painted Sèvres-style porcelain plaques. . Each plaque features delicate floral sprays on a sky-blue ground, framed in ornate gilt bronze borders. The domed lid is finished with a decorative carrying handle, enhancing both its elegance and presence.

The casket retains its original deep satin lining, visible through the pierced bronze. The satin shows some expected darkening on the upper fabric, though the interior remains in impeccable condition, an extraordinary survival for its age.

Exceptional in both design and preservation, this casket embodies the refinement of 19th century French decorative arts — a true statement piece for the collector or as a luxury accent in any interior.
