LADY’S NECESSAIRE IN BLOODSTONE AND GILT BRONZE. FRANCE, LOUIS XV PERIOD

An exquisite mid-18th century French lady’s nécessaire crafted from dark green bloodstone with fine red flecks, mounted in finely chased gilt bronze in the Rococo style of Louis XV. The faceted body is enriched with asymmetrical rocaille decoration, including allegorical motifs of a fox and a goat — symbols of cunning and innocence. The lid opens with a diamond-set push-button of old mine cut, ingeniously integrated into the side panel.

Inside the case are six miniature grooming tools: a mother-of-pearl-handled knife, scissors, tweezers, ear pick, bodkin, and a needle. Each piece fits into its custom slot, testifying to the high craftsmanship and refined taste of its original owner.
