Golden Etui




We think that people spoil themselves in this day and age, but take a leap back to the mid 1700s and have a look at what the ladies needed for their grooming way back when. This very rare etui dates around 1750 and is a perfect example of the French Rococo style of the time, with elaborate designs including charioteers and exotic birds. Replete with antique scissors, tweezers, nail file and pencil holder, it can be yours for a snip at $10,300.
