Rectangular tortoiseshell box quilted with gold and mother-of-pearl. Lid richly decorated with a mythological scene, with many characters and horsemen. Animated frame with centaurs and centauresses. Retractable inner tray decorated with a young shepherd. Very beautiful Neapolitan work, circa 1725-1735, attributed to the workshops of Giuseppe Sarao. (Small lacks, but very good condition) H. 5 cm - W. 17 cm - D. 13,2 cm. Bibliography: A. Kugel, "Complètement Piqué, Le fol art de l'écaille à la cour de Naples", Editions Monelle Hayot, 2018. This specimen made from parts and fragments of scales of Cheloniidae spp. was made well before 1 June 1947. It is classified in Appendix I under the Washington Convention, in Appendix A of European Community Regulation 338/97 of 09/12/1996, and in the French Environmental Code. However, for an exit from the EU, a CITES re-export permit will be required, which will be at the expense of the future buyer.
