BEAUTIFUL RARE 18th CENTURY CHINESE EXPORT CARVED BILLET DOUX LOVE LETTER HOLDER. This is an Beautiful and rare 18th Century Chinese Export Carved billet doux of such beauty and elegance, it would have carried the love notes of someone from among the Courtiers of Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI’s era. This very special Billet Doux dates to circa 1770 making it around 250 years old, the Hand Carved decoration is breath taking, it has a Dragon with its long Body weaving all around the Carved Floral Scene on the Case, and has Birds and Butterflies flying around the Flowers. Towards the edge and the Lid it has a Beautiful Banded Cane Pattern and the Lid also has the Flying Birds and Butterflies around the Flowers and there is a small Finial to the top. The Base has a narrow Banded pattern and which just gives this Dragon and Bird Billet Doux an elegance of years past, and it still retains its Beautiful Patina of years gone by. The quality of the craftsmanship is superb. This Case is so very tactile and once held it has the most wonderful feel. This will add something very special and rare to any collection, my photos dont do it justice. A very romantic item, the billet doux was the etui into which a rolled scroll of a love letter might be passed along or hand delivered by one’s servant. A courier’s’envelope’ of sorts, these became so associated with the intimate love notes carried within, that today the term is itself a romantic one. This elegant 18th century Billet Doux is superb, both in form and in condition. These came in a myriad of forms, many survive and we see them in museums around the world. And this would surely add something special to any collection, and is in nice condition with just a chip on the edge of the Lid and is only mentioned for accuracy. Create your brand with Auctiva’s.
