Fabric Covered Boudoir Box with Antique French Ribbonwork TrimFound in Paris by me about 45 years ago (yep, I'm an old lady), may I offer this Rococo Boudoir Box. Made of a stiff white cardboard, the outside base material is a plum silk that has faded to a medium pink. The fabric is overlaid decorated with gold trim, gold mesh and French ribbon garland pale blue and ombre green coloring. The top of the box has a little bit of tulle and more ribbon and trim as the sides. Height of the box is 4 1 4"; width across

The reverse of the tray is plain gold bearing an impressed Made in Italy stamp

Nothing heavy should be placed on top

blue and yellow

the front of the box has a printed sentiment that reads TO MY DEAREST FRIEND

in other words "A Small Trifle"

Lightweight piece

Height is 6"

The overlay paper depicts a bundle of mistletoe and four leaf clovers - in the background is a pastoral scene

the ribbon piece measures 1" wide (loopy end to end) x 9/16" high

Lovely expression

the interior - this part of the piece probably dates to the 1960s

There also was no hat on the head BUT I did manage to find a small French gilt metal crown with rhinestones and placed that on the head
