19th Century French Rosewood Travel Vanity Case by Peret and Dated 1855

About the Item

This beautiful antique jewelry box set was crafted in Paris, France, circa 1855. The box was made by Peret, a Parisian goldsmith, cabinetmaker and leather maker. Peret received a first class medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1855 (see engraving on the front). The box has an engraved crest on top with initials and crown, and several dividers inside. The compartments are outfitted with silver accessories, which include one square cut-glass bottle, two round glass bottles with silver tops and one rectangular cut-glass bottle. Inside the first tray, you'll also find two round powder glass containers with silver top, a long glass brush holder (brush included), a smaller rectangular shaving brush glass holder (brush included), all of them with a silver lid ornamented and finely chiseled with scrolls, shells and foliage, and a rectangular glass soap container with silver top. The next tray underneath features all the necessary for manicure, pedicure, hair cutting and removal, beard trimming, nail cutting, two scissors, three razors, a long nail filing with two smaller ones, tweezers, and much more! Under the second tray, you will find four more boxes, two of them with original comb and a pair of brushes. The various small compartments are lined with dark green velvet fabric, and there is also the original mirror with brass Stand. This toilet kit was also called "trinket box". The term "necessary" corresponded to the rare wooden boxes, which are easily transportable and carry many objects in a minimum amount of space. This nice collector's item has been nicely preserved and only has some chips on the glass brush holder. The case would be an elegant addition to vanity case. Measures: 13" W x 9.25" D x 6.5" H.
