An
amazing beautifully veneered circa 1830 English tortoiseshell etui. The
inside
is fitted with ivory with tiny compartments for crochet hooks that are
so small
probably used for baby clothes or fine lace making. The top has red gold
starred
paper lining the inside, original hinge and closure while the outside
top has a
cartouche that has never been inscribed. Missing one crochet hook and
has one
small crack along a bottom edge on the thin side otherwise in fabulous
condition.
