This is a Napoleonic era French porcelain trinket or jewellery box, finished in painted enamels with Gilt highlights & two transfer scenes, and dating to around 1850.

The hinged box is rectangular in form, with decorative gilt metal mounts & a gilt metal liner.

The base has a Gilt floral / foliate design, whilst the sides are finished in a dark green enamel with a red lozenge to the front & rear, all overlaid in a Gilt foliate design, with the Gilt borders of the lozenges having a raised, beaded detail.

The lid of the box has a large circular cartouche, surrounded in a decorative, raised Gilt & green enamel frame, which contains a neoclassical transfer print, in the style of Kauffmann.

The box is opened via an 'S' clasp, to reveal a gilt metal lined base & a Gilt metal framed lid, which has another neoclassical transfer print on porcelain, again very much in the style of Angelica Kauffmann.

Condition is Fine. The lower mount has a little movement & the interior, right hand corners of the gilt metal frame have a little surface corrosion - fine for it's 160 odd years.

The box measures approx 3 1/8" long, 2 5/8" wide, & 1 1/2" deep (approx 8cm, 6.7cm, & 3.8cm).
