EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite powder box detail depicts Orphee charming the animals, a scene beautifully captured by the Fabrique Moustiers Olerys Laugier. Created by Joseph Olerys and Jean Baptiste Laugier in the 18th century, this piece is now housed in the Musee de la faience Marseille.
The intricate design showcases Orphee playing his lyre surrounded by various animals, each one seemingly entranced by his music. The delicate ceramic work and attention to detail make this powder box a true work of art.
The mythological theme adds an element of mystique to this object, as Orphee was known for his musical talents and ability to charm even wild beasts with his melodies. The beauty product housed within this casket would surely have been considered a luxurious accessory in its time.
This piece not only serves a practical purpose but also acts as a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of its creators. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance that can be found in everyday objects from centuries past.
Overall, this powder box detail is a stunning example of French artistry and mythology intertwined, offering viewers a glimpse into another era where beauty products were elevated to works of art.
