?Rare box in first part of Boulle marquetry, with brass fillets on a background of red tortoiseshell.
Rectangular in shape and with an inverted « doucine » profile, it opens with a flap and has a dome in the upper part which was used to prick the needles.
All sides are decorated with finely engraved brass scrolls, inspired by the engravings of Jean Bérain (1640-1711), and spandrels with acanthus leaves. The interior is veneered with violet wood and features finely chiseled and openworked bronze hinges.
Nice state of preservation.
Parisian work of the Louis XIV period.
