A French made Sedan chair style watch box decorated on three sides with different scenes with cherubs in enamel. The box would have been made originally to hang a pocket watch but could be used for holding other jewellery.

Marked on the base with "Procede Brevete SGDG Modele Depose".

There is evidence of wear to the enamel panels, commensurate with age, but still a very special and rare piece.
