Rare 19th Century French Napoleon III Régule Numbered Jewelry Casket
Details

An exceptional and highly unusual 19th century French Napoleon III jewelry casket, finely cast in detailed régule and elevated on graceful tripod legs. The elegant urn-form silhouette reflects the grand neoclassical taste so beloved during the Second Empire. Made around 1880-1900, this sweet box is made of Napoleon III era French 'régule', which was created late in the 1800's to imitate bronze, made of metal alloys. The hinged lid opens to reveal a sumptuous tufted silk cushion interior in a luminous golden chartreuse tone — a striking contrast to the rich patinated exterior.

Numbered, indicating quality production, this casket possesses both sculptural presence and intimate charm. This has a unique shape, with three hooved elegant legs. The style of this chest is numbered on the bottom Depose 525. The perfect jewel-scale treasure for your dressing table, vitrine, or cabinet of curiosities. Its refined casting, classical proportions, and romantic character make it a distinctive example of Napoleon III decorative artistry. A rare and captivating find for the discerning collector of fine French antiques.

Collector's Note

Régule caskets in this sculptural urn form are notably rarer than standard rectangular examples, adding to its desirability. The numbered casting and refined detailing suggest quality workshop production. Its jewel-like scale and striking tufted silk interior make it both highly displayable and genuinely collectible.

  • Measures 4-7/8"h x 3-1/2" x3-1/2".
