19th Century French Rosewood and Mother of Pearl Travel Vanity Trinket Case

About the Item

This beautiful, antique jewelry box set was crafted in France, circa 1870. The box has a mother of pearl crest on the top and front, and reveals several dividers inside while the compartments are outfitted with silver and glass containers. The vanity accessories include two square cut-glass bottles, two round glass bottles with silver tops and two small perfume cut-glass bottles. The various small compartments are lined with a luxurious, dark blue velvet fabric. There are two small handles on each side, which allow you to lift the top section to reveal a second interior with additional storage space. Above all, the most unusual feature is a small, hidden button which triggers a spacious, secret drawer that's padded with blue velvet. This toilet kit was also called a "trinket box". The rare wooden boxes were deemed "necessary" because they are easily transportable and carry many objects in a minimum amount of space. This nice collector's item has been beautifully preserved. Key included. Measures: 12.25" W x 9.25" D x 7" H.
