Elegant Limoges porcelain bonbonnière, characteristic of the interwar period when French manufacturers liked to combine the refinement of floral decoration with the new geometric lines of Art Deco. Its slightly square shape with softened corners is topped with a particularly decorative domed lid. A generous bouquet of roses and polychrome flowers blooms in the center, surrounded by a striking geometric network reminiscent of the lines of a stained glass window. The silver highlights and accents of deep cobalt blue structure the whole piece and lend it all its modernity. The same decoration continues on the body of the box with delicate floral bouquets, creating a particularly harmonious composition when the bonbonnière is closed. The porcelain is well preserved. The silver highlights show in places a patina and natural wear due to age, which attest to its age without detracting from its charm. A lovely Limoges piece, at once romantic due to its floral decoration and resolutely Art Deco due to its graphic construction. Width approximately 13 cm. MF Limoges France, circa 1930.
