This silver mounted Limoges enamel trinket box features a hand painted and gilded portrait of an Elizabethan lady done in grey, with the clever use of coloured foils beneath the glaze making her stand out from the cobalt blue ground. Around the sides of both the base and lid is a series of arabesques in raised white enamel. There is very fine gilding to the interior, with that in the lid slightly more worn than that in the base. Around the top of the lid and on the bottom of the base are rings of gilt dots, but they are heavily worn, with some wear to the enamel on the bottom. It measures 60 mm (2 3/8ths inches) in diameter and stands 30 mm (1.25 inches) high. It would date from around 1900.This item will incur a shipping charge post purchase to the buyer. The seller will be in contact with you after the sale.
