Price: $2,700.00 USD
A rare and stunning circa 1840 French pink dyed shagreen necessaire with a rhinestone swan on top. The inside is lined with pink velvet with five sewing implements, thimble, scissors, stiletto, needle case and bodkin that are all gold gilt and lightly decorated with small florets. Marked on the top inside lid with Saint Apes, 550 Rue St. Monore. The needle case has three indistinguishable marks. Condition: The opening hinge is slightly bent but still works perfectly. Slight wear as pictured overall in amazing condition.
Shagreen: The very fine grain or 'scale' of the old stingray leather (shagreen is stingray or shark skin) is consistent with the very fine belly of the beast, and represents the finest quality of early shagreen.
Measurements: : 2 ½ L x 4 W x ¾ H
