Antique French Gilt Brass and Glass Bonbonnière | Louis XVI Style Rose Swag and Basket Late 19th Century
A small French bonbonnière in cylindrical clear glass with pierced gilt brass mounts — the decorative vocabulary entirely Louis XVI: applied rose swag suspending a flower basket pendant on the body, pierced foliate friezes at top and bottom, beaded borders throughout. The hinged lid is a circle of clear glass in a gilt brass frame, opening on a small loop hinge.
Late 19th to early turn-of-the-century French production, in the Belle Époque tradition that took Louis XVI vocabulary as its visual language for affordable luxury — dressing-table bonbonnières, jewelry caskets, perfume holders. The pierced filigree mounts are the signature of the period. Honest period gilding with appropriate wear at high points; glass intact; hinge working.
