  • This box was almost certainly made as part of a toilet service. A 'toilet service' comprised a matching set of a boxes, dishes, toilet accessories and a mirror. It would be found on a lady or man's dressing table in the 17th and 18th centuries. A fashion for elaborate toilet services originated in France in the 17th-century. Louis XIV (1638-1715) and his mother Anne of Austria (1601-1666) started the custom of the <i>levée,</i> in which courtiers were invited to gather in the royal bedchamber while the king or queen dressed. Over the course of the 18th century, the <i>levée</i> became a fashionable and popular practice among the upper classes, with <i>toilettes</i>attended by friends, family and servants. A toilet service was key to the performance of the <i>toilette</i>, providing not only a mirror to reflect the spectacle, but also small boxes and dishes designated for holding make-up, powders, sponges, pins and jewelry. Toilet services were expensive objects, often given as presents to commemorate events such as marriages. They tended to be made from fashionable luxury materials and reflected the wealth and status of their owner. (en)
