19th century French work, circa 1810, likely by the jeweler Jean-Baptiste-Marie Bertin (partially visible master’s Hallmark), who had his workshop at the Palais Royal (then called the Palais du Tribunat), Galerie de la Loi, in Paris.

In 1810, during the First Empire, the term “Galerie de la Loi” at the Palais-Royal referred to the Galerie de Bois (nicknamed the “Camp des Tartares”) or, more broadly, to the galleries of the complex, which were renowned at that period due to the Tribunat’s occupation of the premises.

The Palais-Royal was then the epicenter of Parisian life, a veritable “city within a city.” It was the nerve center of luxury commerce, gastronomy (with its grand cafés and restaurants), entertainment, and also gambling.
