Condition Notes: The necessaire was a brilliant fusion of elegance and practicality, designed for the fashionable woman of means. This compact, decorative case allowed her to carry essential personal items—such as a dance card with a slender pencil, a mirror, and cosmetics compartments—with grace and ease. It served as a stunning display of both her wealth and impeccable taste, as a true reflection of her refined style.

Wallpaper paneled case is tough to open, but all elements are present, complete and in good condition. No damage to mirror.
