This elegant French porcelain trinket box, marked "Decor Florence," features a rich burgundy or maroon ground accented with heavy gilded scrolling and floral borders. The lid is centered with a classic romantic "Fragonard" scene, depicting a courting couple in a lush garden setting, a hallmark of mid-20th-century Limoges decorative porcelain. The vessel sits on three ornate gilded feet and is finished with a gold-tone metal rim and hinge. The underside bears the Limoges France backstamp, authenticating its origin in the renowned porcelain-producing region of France.
