Beautiful Danbiere Paris Cameo Pill/Trinket Box, circa 1890 - by Paris artist T P Danbiere
Oval in shape and made
from aesthetically beautiful amber resin type material
Intricately engraved
decoration of grapes around the actual pill box
And also engraved on the outer top of lid around the cameo figure
The cameo as a raised classical female figure [raised from her seating in the lid]
Approximate measurements: The oval base measures
5.7 cm x 4.6 cm.
Height from base to top of Cameo figure 4.5 cm [height to top of lid excluding Cameo figure is 2.7 cm].
Height of actual cameo figure is 1 cm from top of lid
In very good condition –
a lovely pill box [age-related small nicks which in my view form part of the character of this 120 years old piece; and some scratching to inside of
lid]
