In 1863, Napoleon intervened in Mexico and the defeat of the French troops in Puebla is the reason behind the 5 de Mayo celebrations. Yet the French influence lives on, and Avenida Reforma in Mexico City was modeled after the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Handcrafted by Ana Maria Gonzalez, this decoupage jewelry box depicts scenes from France. The lid opens to reveal a large compartment, a pop-up tray and a convenient mirror. Beneath is a drawer.
