French Lacquered Bodkin Case or Billet Doux C1800
French lacquered bodkin case or possibly billet doux. The finish is painted to resemble stone or mottled plaster. It has two flower filled vignettes and the message "Absent de vous je suis jaloux", which translates roughly as absent from you I am jealous. It separates in the middle to reveal a red painted central rigid card tube. The condition is amazing for an item 230 years old. It measures 6" in length.
I prefer payment by bank transfer, details on request.
I regret that due to current regulations I am unable to ship ivory items to the United States, even though all items are CITES compliant.
