Description

A Charles X period embroidery set, from the tradition of the decorative arts of the Palais-Royal in Paris, circa 1825-1830.
Presented in an oval gilt-bronze case resting on lion's paw feet, this set is distinguished by its mother-of-pearl lid, finely engraved with a garland of flowers and foliage.
The upper part, formed from a mother-of-pearl shell, is decorated with a radiating fan motif, particularly highlighting the iridescent reflections.
The whole is framed by a gilt-bronze border with floral decoration.
Inside the case, the box reveals a mirror and a set of small sewing instruments in carved and engraved mother-of-pearl, adorned with vermeil mounts. It includes, among other things, a pair of finely openwork scissors, a needle case shaped like a small dog and adorned with the Palais-Royal pansy, an awl, a lacemaker's hook, a thimble, a needle punch, a thread holder, and two spools of thread.
The instruments are housed in a beige velvet-lined interior, decorated with a small panel embroidered with polychrome floral motifs for holding the needles. This set testifies to the refinement and quality of craftsmanship of the luxury goods offered in the shops of the Palais-Royal during the Restoration.
Period: Charles X, circa 1825-1830.
Origin: France, Paris, Palais-Royal productions.
