Art Deco French Ribbonwork Boudoir Box with Rococo Ribbon Trim

Found in Paris by me about 45 years ago (yep, I'm an old lady), may I offer this early 1900s to 1920s French Art Deco Boudoir Box. In pretty much pristine condition and from a non-smoking/non pet home, this stunning octagonal lidded box starts with a cardboard base which is covered in a pinky-mauve fabric. The cloth is covered in gold lace and edged with a wide cord trim. The top of the box is further embellished with rococo ribbon garland and a pair of handmade ribbon roses. Open the lid to reveal a very clean (though slightly faded on the underside of the lid) fabric lining;the side of the box has a layer of tea dyed lace which is held to the side with more gold cording. The bottom of the box is covered in paper and features the remnants of a paper price tag.

Size is about 11-1/4" long x 5" wide; depth is about 2". That's it, the look of the piece is most pleasing and there is no wear or holes that I can spot. While you can still find boxes like this on the Internet, finding one in such great condition is a bit harder.
