Collector’s Notes.

Tôle peinte, the French art of decorating painted metal, became especially popular during the 19th century. During the Napoleon III period, decorative trays and other household accessories were embellished with richly colored grounds, gilt ornament, and romantic painted scenes. This circa 1870 French example beautifully reflects that tradition.
