Abstract

A chasse, perhaps a jewellery box, in bronze. It is house-shaped, heavily gilded and with the original lock and key. The roof cresting has a keyhole pattern with three finials, one at either end and one in the middle terminating in knobs. The surface is decorated with angels inside roundels and curvilinear decoration. There are four legs with the feet at right angles and folded outwards.
