Another fabulous find. This is an antique continental silver vanity box.

This piece is from the late 1800's.

Etched and embossed by B. Wicker GR, this piece is fashioned after a famous French painting by  D'apres Lancret. the title is called Le Collin Maillard which means "Blind Man's Bluff".

The box is made from continental silver(.800 - .833) and I believe it originated from France.

It measures approximately 5" x 3.25" with the top cover having a slight overhang at the front.

The interior of the box has a pillow top cushion that appears to have been made from silk with tiny buttons creating the pillows. The sides have silk material on them also.

The scene on the top of the box portrays a courtyard scene with several people playing blind man's bluff. The side and rear panel of the box are embosssed with beautiful scrollwork.

The box has all of the following etched on the top of it below the picture:

There are no maker marks on the bottom of this piece.

There are some faint scratches on this that are age and use appropriate. The silk fabric inside is beginning to come unglued from the sides and there is also areas on the pillow top that are separating. There is also some light soiling to the fabric inside.
