ABOUT PRODUCTID 23409
This late 19th-century French casket exemplifies refined craftsmanship and the spirit of realism. Made of silvered bronze, its surface reveals a cool, antique patina, accentuated by darker undertones and subtle satin highlights on raised sculptural details. The box is carefully modeled to resemble a wooden crate, complete with visible grain and simulated metal reinforcements. The side inscription 'FRAGILE' adds a narrative touch, while the lid is crowned by a naturalistic dog figure—dynamic in posture, with finely rendered fur and expressive features characteristic of late 19th-century realism. The dimensions (height: 9.5 cm, length: 9.5 cm, width: 5 cm) give it a compact yet substantial presence. The piece remains in very good condition, with an original, even patina and no visible signs of damage or restoration.This casket seems to narrate the values of its time, when functional objects were also miniature sculptures. Rooted in the tradition of realism, it merges narrative content with technical precision—the vigilant dog guarding the crate alludes to themes of loyalty and watchfulness prized in 19th-century France. Every detail—from the tension in the animal's stance to the texture of the 'wooden' planks—contributes to a story of care and meaning invested in objects meant to be both useful and symbolic. The cool gleam of silvered bronze evokes echoes of historic interiors and the passion of collectors.The casket may be displayed alongside other period pieces—such as miniature bronzes, crystal glass, or porcelain—on a console in a study, library, or collector’s salon. It would suit historicist furniture, but could also serve as a refined, narrative accent in a modern interior. Pairing it with brass accessories or dark wood veneers would highlight the depth of its patina and the distinctive character of silvered bronze
