We offer you this fabulous Paris, France bronze and enameled casket. Different scenes can be seen on the top and all four sides. We start at the top with a painting portraying Adam & Eve Fleeing the Garden of Eden. Putti figures are scattered about them as they make their way thru. On the front we see a young man with his arm around a young lady's waist and he is kissing her. Cupids hold the sheet of music as they stand in the garden.&...nbsp; Turning it clock-wise the next scene is a garden with a large water fountain. The back scene shows a lake with a house near its banks, with trees surrounding the property. The last scene is complex, with a water fall in the background, a large wood Post and beam structure with the water coming through it, there are two doves sitting on the corner, and an abundance of shrubs and trees all around.
Open the lid to see the inside which is lined with an aqua color velvet, this shows some wear but is still in very good condition. The casket sits on four bun style feet with rounded tip ends. This is accented with four gilt figures one on each of the four corners. The box measures 5.25" high top to bottom x 6.5" wide from side to side x 4 7/8" deep front to back x 3" deep inside, the original key is inside and this weighs 3lbs 9.3ozs.
This is in excellent condition for its age. A wonderful addition to your porcelain, bronze, or box collection.
