Description
Round box in guilloché gold with micro-mosaic. First third of the 19th century. A rare round box in guilloché gold, decorated with festoons and rosettes accented with fleurons. The base and sides are adorned with a delicate guilloché pattern of concentric circles interspersed with quatrefoils. On the lid, a delicate micro-mosaic is framed by a narrow band of midnight-blue enamel. It depicts a landscape from ancient Rome, featuring two figures by the water’s edge against a backdrop of a waterfall, a building and a mountainous landscape. In the foreground, off-centre to the right and arranged in a semicircle, is a canopy of foliage. Hallmark: an animal’s head surmounted by the number 3. Silversmith: Léger-Fortuné-Alexandre Ricart, hallmarked in 1808. Diameter of the box: 7 cm. Height: 2 cm. Diameter of the micro-mosaic: 5.3 cm. Gross weight: 129.43 g. This box is of exceptional quality, with exquisite guilloché work and chasing, and the micro-mosaic executed with the utmost skill.
