拍品专文

Mother-of-pearl became popular for the decoration of French gold boxes at the beginning of the 18th century and the fashion was revived around 1736, amongst other by the jeweller Ravechet with some designs reminiscent of Dresden pattern.
Although Louis XV gold boxes are generally recognisable by their rococo flamboyance, this box, whose size suggests it was intended for a lady, already announces the stylistic change of the reign of Louis XVI with its sober and symetrical simplicity.
