Description |
English: Small precious cases like this example often contained women's toiletries or sewing tools. This elaborate, heart-shaped case contains two glass scent bottles with gold stoppers, a mirror, a folding ivory writing tablet, a gold bodkin, two gold toothpicks, and a miniature pair of gold tweezers in small, perfectly fitting compartments. A hollow casing for a lead pencil has a silver top set with a diamond for writing on glass. The button used to open the case and the floral element on its front as well as the oval ornament on its top are executed in silver set with diamonds and emeralds. |
