ANTIQUE 19th CENTURY SEASHELL PILLBOX

About the Item

This is such a unique piece to collect, to use as a pillbox, trinket dish, or even display as art around the home. It was made in the 19th Century, most likely in France, and it makes such a great gift. It's made from a genuine shell, with gold-tone borders and a clasp to open and close. Mother Nature is the best designer, and this piece is a testament to that fact. Measures 2" wide x 1.25" tall. Great antique condition. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please send a message for any additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final. *IF YOU REQUIRE EXPRESS SHIPPING (domestic or international), please contact me for my best quote!

  • VINTAGE 1980s THIERRY MUGLER BOUCLÉ JACKET + SKIRT SUIT
    By Thierry Mugler
    Located in New York, NY
    This vintage Thierry Mugler bouclé wool jacket and skirt set is giving a very Cher from Clueless vibe. Thierry Mugler and his work have been the subject of countless museum retrospective for a reason: he is responsible for defining the fashion landscape of the late 1980s and early 1990s, with his unabashedly feminine, sensual, borderline-campy perspective. Circa 1980s, this suit is crafted from a wonderful wool bouclé in a vibrant shade of tangerine orange. The fabric has a beautiful slub to it. The jacket is complete with Mugler's signature exaggerated lapels, with a deep V giving way to a nipped waist, creating a flattering hourglass shape, along with the dropped shoulders. The jacket has a cropped silhouette making it perfect for mixing and layering with so many other pieces. This set is so well made, with so many intricate design details: flattering topstitching at the lapels and the curved detail at the hem accentuate the shapes. The skirt has a very fitted shape, with a high waist and shaping seams down the front and darts at the back. The jacket is lined while the skirt is not; the skirt closes with a zipper and 2 snaps at waistband. Made in France of 100% wool.
