French Powder Jar with Stumpwork Fruit, Metallic Lace, Ribbon Work, and Pleated Chiffon

WOW! Just look at this fantastic little confection, what a treat. I've never seen one of these before, not particularly surprising since I would guess not many of them survived. When I saw this piece I couldn't believe my eyes, or my luck.

Condition is amazing, remarkable, not perfect, but nearly so. And considering the fragility of the materials, well, like I said, this piece is in amazing condition. The top does not stay open by itself nor was it intended to, despite my picture. Measures 4 3/4" tall, and 3 1/2" in diameter at it's widest point.

If you collect these wonderful old vanity pieces, don't hesitate, I can't imagine when you'll ever see another of these. Enjoy!

I've recently acquired a number of these appealing fabric covered items that I will be listing, both French and Austrian, all dripping with metallic trim, lace, ribbon roses, etc, so stay tuned. However, this is the only powder jar.
