Antique G. Keller French Travel Vanity, Armorial Sterling Silver
About the Item
Very good condition, just as you see it. Very little sign of age on this one! The gorgeous leather is not stained or damaged, either inside or out, nor does it show roughness of handling in travel. No holes, splits, tears, scrapes. A superb case! Sterling silver is heavy old French 1st standard Minerve (.950/1000 purity); 2nd standard Minerve, (.800/1000 purity); a piece or two that are silverplated. All beautifully made and before you without a single ding or dent. What's there is almost perfect. One flask has loss to the 22K gold vermeil, as noted in our images. Missing: travel mirror that would have set into the fitting on inside lid; a lift-out tray that would have likely held silver-topped jars for powder, soap, and perhaps a few brushes. A wonderful gift idea for the consummate traveler on your list!

In his beginnings established at 65 rue de Turbigo in Paris, Keller moved their shop and workshop to 22 rue Joubert in 1891.
