Delphine & Natty's opinion

This exquisite piece of art is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the period's artisans. Paesina, or "pietra paesina," is an ornamental stone sourced primarily from Tuscany, Italy, which has been used since ancient times but experienced a revival in the 18th century. Paesina boxes from this period are often prized collector's items, renowned for their beauty and uniqueness.
