"Charles X Walnut Burl And Steel Pointed Box "
Écarté is a card game originally for two players and created as a variant of another game, Triomphe, at the end of the 18th century. It became very popular at the beginning of the 19th century, which gave ideas to creative minds of the time for our greatest pleasure. This is how we find charming boxes made of burl and other precious woods, which are decorated with writing in steel points, a technique very fashionable in the 1810s... The small wooden strip separating the cards inside is missing, probably broken over time because it is very fine and fragile.
