Limoges Porcelain Portrait Trinket Box

A miniature portrait, likely of Napoleon II, sits at the center of this little Limoges box. The young sitter wears a white military coat with a green collar and tiny decorations at his chest. Sweeps of gold frame the portrait, and a beaded metal mount follows the angled corners of the lid. It’s a lovely piece for a ring or a small keepsake, with a bit of Napoleonic history on top.
