A fabulous and very early shagreen necessaire, French in origin, and missing only the tiny funnel inside. Complete with the original 2 perfume flasks, bottles, flacon, and the original small scissors, original note panels that are riveted and open similar to a fan - some original notes remain on the sheets. There is also the original old stylus used for writing. Missing only the small funnel that would have fitted into that raised post with small hole. And the old shagreen (which is the very fine belly scales of stingray, tanned as leather) is still in remarkably good shape for age. This is a late 1700s item. The caps on perfume flasks are sterling silver in the case of this one, with very old tiny marks for silversmith, etc. according to French control requirement. We have not been able to capture that well enough to decipher the silversmith. These are so rare to find! Very good condition for age and type. The old shagreen shows age, but is complete and so shows very nicely. Good colo
