About the Item

French 19th Century Lapis Lazuli set box with engine engraved gilt mounts, in Pomponne which is an alloy developed by two goldsmiths, Turgot and Daumy, who set up shop at the Hôtel de Pomponne on Rue de la Verrerie in Paris at the end of the 18th century. It is a copper-based metal designed to imitate gold or silver. Louis XVI granted them a manufacturing privilege in 1785, although until then, all imitations were prohibited. A very lovely example of what would probably originally have been used for pills or as a 'patch' box A piece of beautiful lapis is set into the lid and the base. The fine mounts have been engine turned and chased. It feels beautiful in the hand and is truly a little jewel of a box.
