Description
A fine example of an unusual French casket dating from the early to mid 19th Century. The fabric outer is decorated with hand embroidered chinoiserie style birds and velvet edging. There is also an embroidered monogram on the top and ornate brass carrying handles on the sides. It stands on four brass ball feet and comes with a working key. The interior is lined in a pale blue silk and would suit a variety of uses from a sewing box to a document box. The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
