Superb pocket scientific kit / set from the 19th century.
The case is made of wood and opens with the provided original key, with a lid richly decorated by an elegant geometric and floral marquetry (bone and precious wood inlays).
The interior is lined with red fabric under the lid with its original fittings and is compartmentalized.
Contents of the set (very complete):
