Antique Victorian Era French Tortoise Shell & Pique Etui, Manicure Set With Tools in Ivory wine bucket 1500-1600s Flemish tapestry fragment

1500-1600s Flemish tapestry fragment

Yet you can clearly see the beauty

This is a mid-late 1800s "reproduction" of the salt boxes of the 1700s

Measurements in full are noted on the photos

But they are there and my photographer missed removing them for a photo

Antique Victorian Era French Tortoise Shell & Pique Etui, Manicure Set With Tools in Ivory wine bucket 1500-1600s Flemish tapestry fragmentAbsolutely gorgeous! That's the best way to describe this exceptionally fine and well preserved case, both inside and out. The only thing keeping it from being perfectly pristine is the lack of a pair of manicure scissors (easily replaced) and a little light surface abrasion to the old shell here or there. Not a single bug bite or nip or chip or crack to ruin the perfection of this one, and push button opener works well, clasps tightly closed, too.
