Authentic Limoges Peint Main Fox in Red Robe Trinket Box Hinged Head Mint For Sale

Authentic Limoges France Peint Main figural trinket box, 3.5 x 1.5 inches, a standing fox dressed in a flowing red robe with yellow buttons and a white bib front, holding a sleeping cub or fawn at its feet, set on a brown oval base. Gilt bronze hinge is built into the neck, so the entire head lifts open rather than a separate lid, a more complex engineering choice than the typical lid-and-base box construction. Peint Main is the French designation for fully hand-painted decoration, the highest authentication tier within the Limoges tradition. Made in the Creuse region of France, the historic center of Limoges porcelain production since the late eighteenth century. Condition is mint — no chips, cracks, or hairlines anywhere on the porcelain, neck hinge and floral clasp open and close cleanly with no tarnish. Interior base is hand-marked \"Peint Main, Limoges, France, M.B.\" Best Offer welcome. All photos part of description — please review before purchasing.
