Description

An antique fitted presentation case, likely designed to house a vanity tool such as a shoehorn or button hook. The exterior is finished with a brown pebble-grain material. The interior features a lid lined with pleated cream satin and a navy blue velvet-lined base with shaped indentations for the original contents. The case is constructed with a hinged lid and a brass push-button clasp. The form is characterised by a high, rounded section at one end which tapers to a long, flat profile. No maker’s marks or labels are present.

Length: approximately 24 cm.
