Item Description
A mid-19th-century French papier-mâché pencil holder in the Napoleon III style, decorated in gold with a partridge and butterfly among grasses and flowering branches before a lake, on a black ground. With a charming petite size, the piece has a wide base and a delicately scalloped top edge. Refined details, from the partridge's feathers to the layering of grasses and shrubs, lend interest throughout, the typical Napoleon III palette of black and gold elegantly combined with the handmade texture of papier-mâché.
An elegant decorative piece with functional charm.
- Height: 6.5 cm
- Diameter: 5 cm
- Slight wear throughout, commensurate with age. Minor losses to the base.
