Gilded Bronze Oval Footed Jewelry Casket with Silk Lined Interior, Hinged Lid, Painted Putti on Lid

A lovely gilded bronze oval jewelry casket with a hinged lid and 4 ball feet. The lid of the casket in porcelain is painted, showing a reclining semi-clad putti figure.

The casket measures 6 1/2 inches across the top of the lid and stands 4 inches tall.

It is in good condition although there is some age dis-coloration on the metal and some staining on the silk under the lid.

French, late 19th century.
