一件精雕细刻的珍珠母贝名片盒，可能 dating to the late Qing Dynasty?  Wait: Must translate into Chinese, not keep English. I must translate all. Remove English. Let's rewrite accurately.

A finely carved Chinese mother-of-pearl visiting card case, probably dating to the late Qing Dynasty, 19th century. The case is decorated on both sides with detailed relief carving depicting figures in traditional Chinese architectural and garden scenes. The composition includes pavilions, bridges, trees, figures in conversation, and domestic courtyard details. One side features a central blank cartouche, traditionally intended for initials or a monogram.

The carving is detailed and typical of Chinese export craftsmanship from the late Qing period, when mother-of-pearl card cases were made for both domestic use and the export market. The case shows signs of age and use, including surface wear, small scratches, natural irregularities to the mother-of-pearl, and age-related wear along the edges. Please study the photos carefully, as they form an important part of the description.

Size: 9.3 * 5.8 * 1.5 cm

Material: Mother-of-pearl / nacre

Condition: old condition, with signs of age and use. Note that there is a small loss to the mother-of-pearl on the upper right edge of the case body, visible in the first photo. The bottom section has small pins / nails used to secure the mother-of-pearl panels, and there is a crack near the pinned area on the left side. Internal cracks are visible in the photos; their exact cause is uncertain, possibly due to natural expansion and contraction or historical use, but they do not appear to be caused by a recent impact. The condition has been reviewed by the platform expert. Surface scratches, small chips, edge wear and natural irregularities are present throughout. Photos form part of the description.

Provenance: From an French gentleman’s collection
