    Beautiful travel writing case in blackened pearwood and rosewood, with brass and bone inlays. Embellished with a shaded carved border, the top is encircled by three brass fillets framing an elegant chased brass and bone inlay, forming a refined floral design.
    On the front, a similar decoration surrounds the key and lock in perfect working order.
