Charles X Period Visiting Card Box of Palisander Marquetry with Lemonwood Inlay

Located in Fayetteville, AR

This Charles X period palisander visiting card box was created with a specific purpose. It was originally used by an individual of High Society, either aristocratic or noble, who functioned under a complex set of rules of etiquette regarding social invitations. In order to be invited to the home of someone of equal social standing, one would send a personal visiting card to that person. If a visiting card of the recipient was then received, the invitation was officially accepted. This beautiful palisander marquetry box features two slots on top. The lemonwood inlay work on the lid around the two slots indicates the function of the two interior compartments separated by a divider. Visiting cards that were received by one's valet were placed in the slot à Répondre (to be answered). After the owner sent his own visiting card back to the caller...
