Description
Capodimonte jewellery box, a piece of Italian porcelain artistry, likely dating back to the 20th century. Capodimonte porcelain is known for its detailed, often three-dimensional, figures and scenes.
Origin:
Made in Italy, possibly in the region of Naples, where the original Capodimonte factory was established.
Material:
Porcelain, with hand-painted details and possibly some gilding.
Design:
Features raised relief scenes, likely depicting cherubs and classical or mythological figures. The lid includes a prominent face in relief, and the box rests on paw-shaped feet.
Style:
Reflects a Baroque or Rococo style, common in Capodimonte pieces, with ornate details and a focus on figurative art.
Function:
Designed as a trinket or jewelry box, with a hinged lid for storage.
Age:
While Capodimonte has a long history, this piece appears to be vintage, possibly from the mid-20th century, but not necessarily antique.
Condition:
Based on the image, the box appears to be in good condition, though a closer inspection would be needed to assess any wear or damage.
