A CHINESE EXPORT LACQUER GAMES BOX
CIRCA 1740
Of rectangular form, the top decorated with a cartouche centred by the royal arms of France, the sides with flower sprays, and opening to reveal four conformingly decorated small boxes
1 ½ in. (4 cm.) high; 7 ½ in. (19 cm.) wide; 5 ¾ in. (14.5 cm.) deep

Probably commissioned for Louis XV circa 1737.

专家说明


The coat of arms on this precious Chinese lacquer boîte à jeux is identical to that found on the celebrated and elaborately decorated dinner service commissioned by Louis XV from the Compagnie des Indes in 1738 (see S. Castellucio, L'Objet D'Art, April 2011). Their closely related stylised foliate decoration and shared Chinese origin suggests they could have been part of the same royal commission.
