Antique Victorian Era French Tortoise Shell & Pique Etui, Manicure Set With Tools in Ivory wine bucket The oval eglomise is convexAbsolutely gorgeous! That's the best way to describe this exceptionally fine and well preserved case, both inside and out. The only thing keeping it from being perfectly pristine is the lack of a pair of manicure scissors (easily replaced) and a little light surface abrasion to the old shell here or there. Not a single bug bite or nip or chip or crack to ruin the perfection of this one, and push button opener works well, clasps tightly closed, too.
