Late 19th Century Ebony Glove Box Invoiced With Ivory Tahan

A glove box...
Carved ebony...
With very pretty scenes on 8 cartouches...
Of carved and chiseled ivory...
It's absolutely beautiful...!
Remarkably delicate...
From the late 19th century...
Signed TAHAN - PARIS...
One of the great masters of boxes, liquor cabinets, and small pieces of furniture...
Each one more beautiful than the last...
Made with only noble and rare materials...!
The key doesn't currently turn the lock...
A small corner on one short side has been restored... (see photo)
It's a simple restoration...
Could be further improved by a more skilled cabinetmaker...!
One of the four flat feet is missing a piece...
But that's not a problem...
The upholstery is original...
In red silk...
The front folds down three-quarters of the way...
I many photos and duplicated them...
If you'd like more or larger versions of the ones, no problem...
I don't like to use superlatives, but frankly, this is stunning It's exquisitely delicate, perfectly suited to the material used!
