Presenting an exquisite antique tobacco box that is both a historical heirloom and a masterpiece of craftsmanship. This rare, artistic piece was probably created in the 19th century, its origin can be traced back to the artistically productive regions of Paris or Sévres in France. Made of high-quality porcelain and hand-signed, this box captivates with an excellent balance of form, colour and function.
The box is characterised by its oval, flat shape, which promises a classic charm and comfortable handling at the same time. The box is surrounded by a noble bronze mount, which in turn forms a pleasant contrast to the delicate porcelain. The detail of a flying dove on the hinge side adds a touch of lightness and elegance to this historic box.
The lid of this box is a real feast for the eyes. The edges are adorned with light blue, fan-shaped decorative elements in light relief, which harmoniously round off the overall appearance. In the centre of the lid, a fine, multi-coloured painting catches the eye. Two crossed trumpets and a drum are depicted, artfully surrounded by an ensemble of roses, branches and rocailles. Each element is carefully and lovingly hand-painted, creating a lively, colourful image.
This antique tobacco box is more than a mere container. It is a piece of history, a testimony to past craftsmanship and, last but not least, an excellent collector's item for lovers of antiques and tobacco goods alike. Discover the beauty and charm of this small but fine treasure.
