Vanity Set (Nécessaire)

James Barbot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a small, square box with a hinged lid. The box has a gold-colored metal frame with ornate designs and patterns. The frame features intricate details, including floral motifs and scrollwork. The box is made of a material with a marbled appearance, featuring shades of orange, white, and yellow. The top of the box has a flat, smooth surface with a similar marbled pattern. The box is sitting on a plain gray surface, with a subtle shadow visible underneath it. The overall design of the box suggests it may be a decorative item, such as a vanity set or nécessaire, by James Barbot.
