Description from the seller

Splendid display case of luxury optical equipment for an optician created in Limoges (France).
Rosewood box complete with tracing tools and precision instruments for optical glass.
The case with its hinged front or with protractors and rulers in their compartments.
No key, on the front of the object a business card of the optician with the name of his street, namely Rue Pont Hérisson. For a bit of history, it changed its name in the 1914–1920 years by the mayor of the time, Léon Boutoulle, who, upon learning the assassination of Jean Jaurès on July 31, 1914, decided to dedicate this new street to him.
Item for collectors or a beautiful decorative piece.
