This Napoleon III Papier-Mâché tray or dish, crafted in the shape of a shell, is an exquisite example of mid-19th century Chinese craftsmanship, created for the French market.
The tray is adorned with a laquered Oriental decor, featuring a delicately painted crane bird, a symbol of longevity and good fortune in Chinese culture.
The intricate design, along with the use of rich lacquer, reflects the influence of Asian art on European tastes during the 19th century, particularly during the reign of Napoleon III, when such items were highly sought after.
