Neo-classical Empire box 1860 in curved wood shape XXL

There are enchanting objects like this, ones we didn't know about before, with no idea of their existence, and then the encounter happens and it's irresistible... A curved wooden box, studded, in the shape of a crescent, a half-moon, a bicorne, mysterious, humble and splendid at the same time, masculine and precious, careful and raw, abstract and utilitarian. This box travelled with Mr Z, probably by train, between the cities he visited, with his moustaches, his affairs or his career. An extraordinary presence as a legacy, simple and glorious. It will be difficult for me to part with it. The small flaws that give it nobility. Height 21cm, wingspan 54cm, at its deepest 21cm. Ab fab! When you know, you know.
