This two-layered crystal bonbonniere in the Biedermeier style, likely created by the Egermann workshop in Germany during the 1930s, is crafted from glass in a rich cobalt blue with a lustrous, mirrored finish. The oval and round medallions, cut through the blue outer layer to reveal the underlying clear crystal, are each framed by hand-applied gilding. Ornate, flowing gold floral patterns are delicately painted between the medallions, adding a decorative flourish that reflects the ornamental character typical of Biedermeier taste. The domed lid is topped with a prominent, faceted finial adorned with a gold line, harmoniously echoing the piece's balanced proportions—both in the softly domed cover and the wide, stable base. The signature Egermann decorative techniques and finely executed cuts affirm the authenticity and high artisanal level of the object. The bonbonniere is preserved in very good condition, with a bright, immaculate surface and no visible chips, damage, or signs of restoration.This vessel speaks in the language of an era where refined detail was synonymous with domestic sophistication. The interplay between blue crystal and gleaming gold tells the story of a world ruled by reserved elegance—an age when ornament and geometry shaped the poetics of the drawing room. The play of light across the medallions evokes memories of formal gatherings—sweets, confections, or the gentle hush of afternoon tea—when such objects accompanied the rituals of bourgeois parlors.The bonbonniere could be paired with classic wooden furniture—a dark veneered table or sideboard—where the mirrored blue and gold would accentuate the grain and textures of wood and textiles, especially
