The reproduction of this 18th century box was based on the same model as the old one, using the same paper and the same 18th century hooks, the same sorts of leathers and the same type of gilding.
The paper, the leathers and the hooks are very patinated to give the illusion of age.
18th century “à la Duseuil” gilding. The creation of the lozenge required much work with small gilding irons.
