Highly ornate decoration on this old silver plate casket or large box. Measures 5 1/4" high, 8" long and 5 1/4" wide. Rococco style box or casket, with lots of curves and flowing shapes to the outside and feet. The surface is covered by a mass of decoration. A winged cherub romances a chubby female figure over flowing waters, flowers that are almost 3-dimentional, conches and other swirling shapes while a swallow swoops overhead. The front is highly convex (rounded outwards) in a fluted shell-shape that echoes the shells around the rest of the box. There is a keyhole in the front. Underneath the box is embossed FULSER. 2 other embossed marks have been intentionally erased, giving the piece a delightful mystery. Inside, the lining has been removed. Despite the mystery of it's origins, the piece is very beautifully crafted and of an excellent quality, rarely seen today. Please contact me via directly.
