This little box has all the detail of a large piece of furniture or building that could have been created four hundred years ago by the guild craftsman of France during the reign of King Louis XIV or Louis XV.
From top to bottom, there are layers of intricate motifs and complex techniques evident. Box collectors will enjoy its uniqueness and anyone who loves French design will love to receive it as a gift.
