About the Item

A French Red Over White Opaline Ormolu Mounted Hinged Covered Box with Domed shape Top This rectangular opaline glass box is composed of a layer of transparent glass overlaid with a vivid red coating, applied atop an opaque white opaline ground. The construction creates depth and luminosity within the color, with the clear outer layer giving the surface a smooth, glossy finish. The form is compact and rectilinear, with a rounded lid that fits precisely to the box’s body. A gilt bronze mount with a continuous rope-twist pattern joins the lid and base, serving both decorative and structural purposes. When viewed under light, the red overlay reveals the subtle glow of the white opaline beneath, enhancing the contrast between the two layers. The ormolu mount is crafted with precision, featuring uniform decorative tooling and a tight hinge that allows smooth opening and closure. The clasp is integrated seamlessly into the frame, maintaining a balanced profile. The interior is finished in white opaline, framed by a scalloped gilt edge that mirrors the refined exterior. The gilding retains a natural patina consistent with age, while the glass remains clear and free of discoloration. Such boxes were produced for the luxury market, where multi-layered opaline glass was prized for its technical difficulty and visual depth. The combination of red over white was particularly sought after for its striking appearance and the precision required in its production. This piece, well-preserved and with all elements intact, represents a fine example of Italian opaline glasswork, appreciated for both its craftsmanship and enduring decorative appeal.
