There is a very decorative silver cartouche attached to the front of the sceau, hand chased. The silver base is hallmarked with the crab silver guarantee; I am unable to make out the numeral between and beneath the claws, so the fineness is indeterminate. The ivory is truly splendid.

Antiques:Accessories
Good antique French small coin purse. Inlay or pique is intricate and well executed; flowers and leaves are in both pewter and abalone, or mother of pearl.

The purse is in good overall condition. There is a very small hairline at the hinge on one side. The pewter shield in not monogrammed, hence it ...
