Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1850s.
An exquisite shape with a wonderful bright patina and beautifully hand-painted with flowers and a bird of paradise to the lid; all finished in decorative gilding which is usually very worn, this example does remain very fresh.
The interior houses the four original Baccarat style crystal bottles sitting amongst a red velvet lining, graduated, with two larger bottles to the back and two smaller ones to the front. All remain in pristine, clean condition.
The front has a mother of pearl escutcheon (alas, no key). Breathtaking!! 5 1/5" x 4 1/2" tall at rear.
