Description from the seller
A Secret of the Nineteenth Century: Rare Victorian Toiletry Necessaire in Fine Wood
Let yourself be swept away by the timeless charm of nineteenth-century elegance with this splendid travel vanity case and jewelry box, a true masterpiece of cabinetmaking dating from the second half of the 19th century. This is not just a box, but a keeper of stories, beauty rituals, and secrets from bygone times. The Charm of the Secret:
Designed for long journeys by carriage or on the early steam trains, the chest hides a side drawer with removable compartments, ideal for keeping jewelry and the most precious letters out of sight.
The piece presents itself in splendid historical condition. It has not been aggressively restored in order to preserve its intact original patina and its soul."
