Antique English Victorian Papier Mache Book Slide, Holder, Bookends, MOP Inlays

Very good to excellent condition for age and type, this one might miss a tiny nip of mother of pearl here or there, but not among the primary inlays that show up as pearlescent shimmer florals on both ends, and along the trim border. The paintings on each end are done by hand and are each very beautiful floral sprays. No chips or breaks, and no restoration or repairs that we can detect. The very minor issue would be that the hinges are allowing sides to hyper-extend slightly, but that will right itself with nothing more than a little shim, and is so minor, it's not likely to even be noticed if your slide is full.

NOTE: CS Antiques: This item belongs to my grandson, Connor, who has turned 10 and now has begun his own little business in antiques. He's thrilled to offer you this item, and thrilled to look forward to his upcoming 'buying' trip to France and Italy later in the year. We hope you'll enjoy his 'picks'. He's so excited to see if he'll make a little profit in his first business venture. And 'Gram' is thrilled to have three 10-year olds to share this interest with, too.
