The surface of the lid is decorated with a boules inlay pattern inlaid with yellowish metal (possibly brass), giving it the appearance of capturing the essence of French decorative craftsmanship in a small vessel. It is a rare item that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and the deep amber tortoiseshell that has stood the test of time adds a unique touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoulle work is an inlay technique that is said to have been perfected by French cabinetmaker Andre-Charles Boulle (1642-1732), and involves combining tortoiseshell, brass, and white wax to create intricate patterns. This technique, which was born under the reign of Louis XIV, enjoyed a resurgence in France in the late 19th century and was applied to a wide range of crafts, from furniture to accessories. The symmetrical arabesque-style pattern decorating the lid of this item shows the traces of the handiwork of the craftsmen of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt looks best on a dresser or den shelf as a small accessory case for rings, earrings, and other jewelry.
