Antique ebonised papier-mâché box in Chinoiserie style

Details

Antique French ebonised papier-mâché Chinoiserie box, a delicate piece with great decorative charm.

Made in France from ebonised papier-mâché —a highly valued technique during the 19th and early 20th centuries— it features an elegant oriental-inspired scene in golden tones on a black background, with figures, landscapes and motifs characteristic of the Chinoiserie style.

The compartmented interior, lined in a refined turquoise green shade, creates a beautiful chromatic contrast and makes it ideal for storing small pieces of jewellery, personal items or special keepsakes.

Its small format and original front clasp make it a perfect piece to place on a chest of drawers, vanity table, desk or inside a display cabinet, where it adds an exotic and sophisticated touch.

Signs of age, natural wear to the ebonised finish and small imperfections are part of its authenticity and charm, reflecting the passage of time and its history.

Ideal for vintage, classic, oriental, eclectic or Chinoiserie-inspired interiors, where small objects with soul make all the difference.

2.5 cm, 9 cm, 6.4 cm.
