from Louis Vuitton

and it is possible that this is an Eastern Europe youth

perhaps it was part of an ecclesiastical garment

HEAVY old European oak and built to last

this late 19th century playing cards box has a real feel of that Louis XVI era

Antique French Limoges Kiln-fired Enamel, Cavalier Courting, Interior, Signed, in Metal Frame tiara from Louis VuittonAn early to mid 19th century kiln fired enamel, "Limoge" enamel work by the artisans of Limoges, France. Wonderful scene of a Cavalier coming to court and being chased out of a young woman's bedroom by maids and servants. Kiln fired enamel work is, in my opinion, one of the most difficult arts to master. It takes many years for an enamelist to gain expertise, and apprenticeships can last decades before one could achieve an enamel such as this one.
