In 18th century France it was tradition for a newly married couple to create something called a Globe de Mariee.
This was a way for them to display and protect items or wedding souvenirs chosen by the two of them that reflected their love for each other and the beginnings of their life together.
The Globe de Mariee would be kept and treasured through the years as a record of their marriage.
Lovely condition considering age with beautiful foxed mirror plates to surround.
