A rare and very beautiful Limoges porcelain etui ormolu perfume casket. It is marked Goumot-Labesse Porcelaines Made In France Limoges - and also has the Goumot Labesse logo stamping. This fabulous French perfume casket has a very romantic scene on the front and back of a young man serenading a young lady who offers him a posy of flowers from her basket. In the background is a lovely pastoral country garden scene. Circa early 1900's and in perfect condition, no cracks, chips or flaws. The two perfume bottles inside are glass and stamped, Bottle France, and they have individual perfume wands inside attached to the stopper - they are original to the piece. The background colour is a beautiful shade of rose pink and the base and sides of the egg have extensive and ornate gold embellishment. The fittings are brass and have acquired a patina that could be polished but I left in it's original condition. Mechanical push down to open and a bolt fitting at the base underneath - which is a little loose and requires tightening. The measurements are 5-1/2" inches tall by 3" inches wide and the circumference around, measured with a fabric tape measure is just under 8-1/2" inches around. The perfume bottles measure 2" inches tall by 1" inch wide and 1/4" inch in depth.
