A late 17th century Limoges enamel Timbale

Very rare Timbale with decoration of hunting. Very beautiful colors, lively characters, finely worked scenes.

Limoges is known for the high quality of its enamel and its artists who knew how to reinvent themselves at each period. Enamel appears from the 12th century, and its production is essentially religious.

It will then diversify.

Workers from the world of goldsmiths, their status changed in the 16th century. They pay more attention to style and detail and consider themselves more like painters, even signing their work.
