Antique French Porcelain & Gilt Bronze Jewelry Casket

Antique French Porcelain & Gilt Bronze Jewelry Casket

Late 19th Century | Hand-Painted Porcelain Panels

A refined Sevres style antique French jewelry casket featuring finely hand-painted porcelain panels set within richly detailed gilt bronze mounts. Dating to the late 19th century, this elegant piece reflects the Rococo revival taste popular in France at the time, with romantic pastoral imagery rendered in soft, painterly tones.

The lid is adorned with a delicately painted courting scene, signed by the porcelain artist within the composition, while additional panels depict tranquil landscapes and country settings. Each porcelain plaque is individually painted, giving the casket visual interest from every angle. The porcelain is framed by ornate gilt bronze mounts and raised on four decorative feet, lending the piece a sculptural, architectural presence.

The interior is velvet lined and designed to hold jewelry or treasured keepsakes. The porcelain remains in excellent antique condition, with no cracks or chips—an important and increasingly rare feature for painted examples of this quality.
