Rare Antique French Napoleon III Era Doll Sized Boulle Miniature Chest, Sew Box
Remarkable & rare antique 19th century French Napoleon III era jewelry, sewing & scent casket, a gorgeous box in the shape of a miniature doll sized dressing table or chest of drawers with boulle style brass, enamel & mother of pearl inlays and beautiful rosewood veneers with turned accents & feet! WOW, what a beautiful and rare old casket, the first of its kind that we've had the pleasure to offer! Gorgeous rosewood veneers with sleek brass string or strip inlays, boulle medallions on the two front doors and top drop-down cabinet door. Behind that top door is an opulent little setting, a mirror in the back with lovely silk drapes, a space below for a scent or perfume bottle and fittings in the door itself for sewing items. Only an old pair of scissors remain, the fittings would also hold a thimble, needle case and bodkin. There's even a velvet pin cushion in the front, lovely! Just in from France and rare, rare, rare. These miniature pieces are highly collectible, wond
