French Enamel Deskset

This is a fun desk set made in France around in the mid to late 19th century. The pieces are enamelled (I think this would be called guilloche enamel but am not sure) with some nice flowers on a white background which is trimmed in black with a gold design to the bottom and top end and some nice gilt mounts. The set consists of a page turner that has the silver blade edged and highlighted with gilding, a wax seal stamp which was never engraved which is nice, a letter opener and a pen which is missing its nib which should be very easy to replace! The set comes in its original fitted case with two lidded compartments that are empty - probably to store stamps or nibs. The set is in great condition with wear to the box, the missing nib and something rattling on the inside of the page turner but no real damage. A really nice set for sure! The box is 0.75 inches tall, 8.375 inches long and 3.375 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $749
