French (Old Paris) mid 19th century or earlier porcelain two part small box of an elegant lady riding side saddle on her horse. Much attention to fine details in form and minute polychrome and hand applied gilt on the horsewoman, her attire and her dapple grey mount. The horse appears to be in the middle of a jump over multi-colored leaves. A pair of hounds run alongside, looking up at their mistress.. Exceptionally charming early bibelot box which displays beautifully. The box is unsigned, but bears the number "319" inside the top. A collectors treasure.
