Refined Napoleon III papier-mâché box, decorated with an elegant gilt Asian scene on a dark background. A perfect example of Napoleonic decorative art, highly sought after by collectors for its quality lacquer and the characteristic Oriental influence of the period.
The exterior features a glossy lacquer surface with finely executed details, while the interior retains its original finish. The box is in good overall condition, with some internal scratches visible in the photos, consistent with age and use. The structure is stable, and the lid opens and closes properly.
Thanks to its compact size, it is ideal not only as a collectible piece but also as a business card holder, a small desk container, or an elegant decorative accessory.
Note: measurements are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the point of measurement.
