Description

Box - jeweler; France, c. 1900. Gilt and chiseled bronze with cloisonnè enamel plaques. Preserves key. Measurements: 11,5 x 14,5 x 9 cm. Small gilded bronze box of rectangular format that presents a design of aesthetic recocho. The box is structured in a gilded body, decorated with a filigree of vegetal ornaments arranged around the outer perimeter of the base and the body.

Also called alveolate or partitioned, the cloisonné enamel is a technique that consists of depositing the vitreous paste of the enamel in recessed compartments or formed by metal sheets that, in relief, compose the silhouette of the design.
