Antique Victorian Era French Tortoise Shell & Pique Etui, Manicure Set With Tools in Ivory

Absolutely gorgeous! That's the best way to describe this exceptionally fine and well preserved case, both inside and out. The only thing keeping it from being perfectly pristine is the lack of a pair of manicure scissors (easily replaced) and a little light surface abrasion to the old shell here or there. Not a single bug bite or nip or chip or crack to ruin the perfection of this one, and push-button opener works well, clasps tightly closed, too. The set must have been stored and never used. The ivory brush with boar bristles is clean as can be, as is the file that's built into the handle. The opposite end of the handle is a cuticle tool, and then you have buffer and also a covered pot for polish or nail lotions, cuticle creams. All in such nice condition! Very good to excellent, as noted above. The beautiful inlays of pique have no missing bits and no raised, either. Smooth, sleek, thick pillow of a case, it's 3.75" x 2 3/8" and is 1 1/8" thick. Superb cognac to chocolate co
