Antique French Boulle Inlay Sewing Box with Opulent Fitted Interior
About the Item
Very good condition. There is some clearcoat markings on the lid, rear left corner, as if someone pulled off a strip of tape removing a bit of the clear finish. No missing inlay though there is some crazing to the red and pearl colored inlays in the cartouche. Some sewing tools are missing, some may be replacements. The vermeil silver cap of the scent flask has a dent or two but is strong, the inner glass stopper is there. The removable tray has a very subtle bend or warp to it but it rests securely inside the box and is really only noticeable when held at eye level. Working lock & key, structurally as sound as can be! See pictures for measurements.
