About the Item

This exquisite miniature French Louis XV inlaid jewelry box is a rare and charming example of a salesman’s sample, created with the same craftsmanship and detail as full-scale 19th-century furniture.

Collectors of antique miniatures and French decorative arts will appreciate the authenticity and rarity of this piece.
