EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of Louis XIV caskets, dating back to the early 18th century. These exquisite pieces are adorned with ormolu mounts, brass inlaid tortoiseshell, and Boulle marquetry, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of the French School during that era. Measuring at 12x35x27 cm each, these ornate wooden boxes were designed to be both functional and decorative. The caskets featured in this photograph are part of a private collection and offer a glimpse into the opulent style favored by Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. As one of France's most influential monarchs from 1638 to 1715, Louis XIV was renowned for his love for lavish decoration and grandeur. The House of Bourbons dynasty he belonged to left an indelible mark on French history. These beautifully decorated objects serve as a testament to the artistic prowess of their time. With their intricate inlay work and attention to detail, they exemplify the level of skill achieved by craftsmen during this period. This print captures not only their physical beauty but also provides a window into an era where artistry flourished under royal patronage.
