An exceptional travel nécessaire crafted from natural mother-of-pearl, richly adorned with embossed silver appliqués in refined Orientalist style. The sides feature exotic figures in traditional Eastern dress, framed in elegant rocaille cartouches. Inside are six miniature toilette tools: tweezers, toothpick, nail file, folding knife, pencil and spatula
A rare and exquisite object, bearing witness to the taste and refinement of Second Empire society.
