This is a very early 1800s item, finest old French unique marquety work with pink and mother of pearl worked with brass in the manner of Charles Boulle, and thus referred to as \"boulle\". It\'s rare in coloration, but more rare in form. This is a hinged sealing wax box with small wax seal. The hinged panel folds open and holds the small seal, and there is ample room in the box for sealing wax and matches. The style you see here is museum quality and from the Louis-Philippe era, well before stamps and envelopes we\'re used to, when notes were folded and sealed with sealing wax and one\'s monogram or \"seal\" or \"cachet\". A complete set here, lacking only some red sealing wax. Fun desktop item, and a stunning old box for collectors. Very good to excellent condition, no losses in the boulle, and no real lifts in the brass marquetry, either. Highly polished brass looks like gold against the pink and mother of pearl. The little wax seal that comes with it is also in very fine condition and is monogrammed as you can see. a well-used matrix that will imprint a G and V, I think. That matrix is in French sterling silver. Measurements are noted on our photos.

Shipping and Handling Policy:

You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you\'re thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.

We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. is now requiring that our clients rank us on \"shipping\". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we\'ll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.

Insurance has been eliminated as an option by , forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replacable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!

Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is recieved (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
