Empire Travel Sewing & Writing Set, France, Early 19th Century, circa 1815
About the Item
Luxurious travel set for a lady, French early 19th century production - Empire period circa 1815. This travel set is mainly composed of sewing accessories, most of them made of mother of pearl (scissors and thimble are made of sterling silver though), and writing accessories with two inkwells.
The accessories are placed in their original burr wood box with brass inlays, leather and velvet inside, with a number of secret compartments. Most travel boxes are made of mahogany in early 19th century, and burr wood became a fashionable material at the end of Empire / early Restauration period when blockade made it difficult to supply mahogany.
Beautiful witness of French early 19th century elegance, in very good condition. Some accessories are missing / have been replaced but the set remains quite consistent and complete.
