The colored woods, stained red and green, accentuate the relief effect. The gilt bronze mounts are chased with acanthus leaves, palmettes, and foliate interlacing. Friezes of pearls, egg-and-dart motifs, and acanthus complete the ensemble. The interior of this Louis XVI style box is lined with blue velvet. The box rests on four scrolled foliate feet. 19th-century jewelry boxes are among the most refined and sought-after antiques today.
