Antique Toy Case – School Kit / Miniature Writing Set – Late 19th / Early 20th Century. This charming antique toy case for a child dates from the late 19th or very early 20th century. Covered in embossed blue paper imitating morocco leather, highlighted with gold trim, it opens to reveal a richly furnished and decorated interior. The interior, lined with pink and blue paper, contains a complete set of miniature accessories evoking a real school or writing kit: glass inkwells, pen holders and nibs, blotting paper, a small working metal scale, a miniature globe, storage compartments, period documents, and chromolithographs (school notebook, children's picture books, illustrated notes). The whole is enhanced with lovely illustrations and lithographed decorations typical of late 19th-century pedagogy and the world of children. This type of kit, both fun and educational, was designed to introduce children to writing and school learning. DELIVERY 30 EUROS
