Fine Antique 19th Century French Floral Marquetry Jewelry or Watch Box, Ivory, Mother of Pearl Costume Very much to the Fauve

Very much to the Fauve or Fauvist aesthetic

it's a listed artist of some importance in his time

There is one cluster of the glass berries missing from the back side of the base

this one has no splits on the side baffles but it doesn't open very wide

Fine Antique 19th Century French Floral Marquetry Jewelry or Watch Box, Ivory, Mother of Pearl Costume Very much to the FauveAn exquisite little treasure, mid 1800s pocket watch or small jewelry box or case, etui, with a finished rosewood interior and marquetry veneer of ivory and dyed mother of pearl in a floral motif. Elegantly finished with a brass pencil edge in heavy brass, and a push button opener that engages 2 pins. Definitely a one of a kind bespoke box, I've never seen another worked quite like this, in all my many decades of buying and museum wandering similar,
