Exquisite Antique English Papier Mache Card Case C.1840

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

Although not signed, I feel sure this wonderful card case must have been made by the highly sought-after Jennens & Bettridge, the finest makes of Paper Mache during this period.

Beautifully decorated with hand painting, Mother of Pearl inlay and gilding. Each side features a Peacock, static one side with the feather eyes being inlaid with tiny pieces of iridescent Mother of Pearl. The Peacock on the other side is painted in-flight.

There is a tiny silver mount to the lid with an old engraved decorative monogram. The hinge is unusual being inset to the papier mache on the outside. The hinge is stable and in excellent shape and the interior edges are trimmed in Ivory.

An excellent example is superb condition, measuring 4 1/4" x 2 3/4".
