This fabulous little celluloid jewelry or dresser box features a hinged top and a pullout drawer at the base, with tiny celluloid drawer pulls. This dates 1910-1920s and measures 6” wide, 3” high and 3 1/2” deep at the top. Inside is lined with original gray velvet.

Condition is excellent, with, amazingly, no damage, even to the delicate points of the scallops on the top, drawer edges, and around the base. Even the hinges are perfect. These are very difficult to find in such excellent condition.

These celluloid pieces were also known as Ivorene, Old Ivory or French Ivory, and this dresser box is a lovely creamy ivory color, with horizontal striations.

It’s a beauty!
