Description from the seller

A particularly beautiful oak or wooden box containing four small boxes with images of the four kings from the card deck, executed in enamel.
The large box consists of 2 compartments in which the cards can be stored.
In the small boxes, there are chips in three shapes, probably made of turtle shell.
The large box has a glass window with faceted edges.
The whole is in fairly good condition; one side of a small box is missing, and the enamel of one of the boxes is damaged. The box is missing the key.
The total weight is 1365 grams, and the dimensions of the large box are: 22.5x18x9.5 cm.
The small boxes measure 6.5x8.8x3.5 cm.
This set was probably made in Europe, but it's not certain.
Please look carefully at the photos; they are part of the description.
Two last photos with blacklight to demonstrate that the fiches could possibly be made from turtle shell.
