Description
- Clement Rousseau
- Covered Box
- incised Clément Rousseau
- shagreen, palmwood and metal
Condition
Overall in excellent condition. The shagreen presents with a delicate surface throughout, with a few minor surface discoloration consistent with age and the making process. Some of the vertical edges with minor wear consistent with age and gentle handling. The wood with minor surface scratches and surface soiling concentrated to the recessed areas. The corners of the lower edge with minute abrasions. The inside of the box is divided in two compartments separated by a metal sheet, and Clement Rousseau’s graceful signature is visible to the interior of the cover. The cover presents with a very nice weight thanks to the thickness of the wood. A wonderful box that encapsulates Clement Rousseau’s delicate designs and technique. -----
