[Copper gilded sheep landscape enamel painting octagonal table]

Copper gilded sheep landscape enamel painting octagonal table, England, 18th century, height 3.2 cm, diameter 4.8 cm
The table is an octagonal vertical box with 10 enamel paintings wrapped in copper sheet. The picture of the box cover shows a young man holding a bird cage with both hands on the field path, and a young woman placing a bird in the cage with children and sheep beside. At the bottom of the box is a picture of a woman sitting on a hillside and playing flute in her spare time. The melodious sound of flute made the sheep listen attentively and forget to eat grass. The natural scenery on the screen is beautiful, and the characters’ expressions are indifferent and natural, which is quite idyllic. The other eight enamel paintings inlaid on the side of the box are all landscapes and flowers. Open the box cover, and you can see that there is a watch in the box, with a green dial, a single set of double needles, and the upper chord on the dial
This watch is the work of Charles Cabrier, a famous watchmaker in London, England, in the 18th century.
