    The interior features its original moiré fabric lining and its original crystal inkwells.
    A beautiful Louis-Philippe-era piece from around 1840, likely intended for an important figure in the French bourgeoisie or aristocracy.
    From a Norman estate.

    Delivery via registered Colissimo with insurance for Europe: €45; €75 for the rest of the world.
    *This exquisite travel writing case bears the mark of Maison Alphonse Giroux on the front cover; this was one of the most prestigious stationery shops in Paris, located at 7 Rue du Coq-Saint-Honoré from 1826 to 1848. As a supplier to the Count of Chambord, it employed the finest artisans, notably the Thouvenin bookbinders until his death in 1834 and Pierre Gruel, who at that time had a reputation for creating the most opulent and luxurious trinkets.
    Maison Giroux required its artisans not to sign their work with their own names.
    Alphonse Giroux exhibited bookbindings under his own name at the 1834 exhibition—works that the late Thouvenin could no longer claim—and won a silver medal as a bookbinder, with praise from the jury for the brilliance, opulence, and good taste of the gilding.
