German probably ca. 1745–50
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 540
Fitted with sewing and writing implements as well as a watch, this unmarked nécessaire shows delightful chinoiserie decoration in the Rococo style, echoing the work of the influential Munich designer François Cuvilliés (1695–1768).
