Quantity available: 1
This exceptionally crafted dresser or jewelry box features its original gilt finish with engine turned patterns, and a lid decorated in red coral stones with a miniature painting depicting an outdoor scene of courting lovers beside a neoclassical figurative sculpture. This box dates from the fourth or possibly third quarter of the nineteenth century and is in very good condition. There is a soldered repair to one ball foot, and the upper portion of the lid has lifted from its base along the right side toward the rear, but this could be restored. One coral stone is missing. The painting signature appears to read Pieto, Piqeo, Piqlo, or Piqto. Measures 9 by 6.5 by 4 in ( 22.9 by 16.5 by 10.2 cm).
