A delightful enamel and dore bronze bird box featuring a version of the Rococo masterpiece The Swing by Jean-Honore Fragonard on the lid. The actual painting, which resides in the esteemed Wallace Collection in London, is often studied by students of art history for its forbidden subject matter hidden within a highly refined landscape. This lovely bird box is equipped with a brighly feathered song bird and is of superb quality and condition. French, circa 1870.
