Pouch with bellows, Louis XIV period, pink... - Lot 181 - Coutau-Bégarie
Pouch with bellows, Louis XIV period, pink and cream silk tapestry, both sides decorated with the arms of France framed with dolphins in a frame of floral scrolls. Interior in blue taffeta bearing an old collection label, (slight sures, uniformly insolate), 9.5 x 16.8 cm. The complex weaving of such a work made from a cardboard assumes the realization of a series of copies. This decoration could celebrate the birth of the Grand Dauphin (1661-1711). As an accessory of intimacy intended to preserve precious letters, the pouches were often an object of gift. A pouch of this model is kept at the V&A, ( 715-1897).
