The craftsmanship is exceptional, with a richly textured ribbed surface and a raised floral motif adorning the lid. Further decoration includes a strap-and-buckle design carved with remarkable finesse, while the word “Plombières”—a historic spa town in France—is inscribed in a beautifully styled font across the top, lending both context and charm.

The box is hinged at the back for ease of opening, and it rests elegantly on small carved feet, giving it presence and lift. Inside, a lining of soft blue velvet adds a touch of refinement and contrast to the warm tones of the wood.

Hand selected in England and imported with care, this is a delightful piece of French decorative craft—at once practical and richly ornamental, and full of continental character. See less
