A small trinket / desk box made of ebonised wood inlaid with brass and tortoiseshell just on the lid. The push button brass catch opens it to reveal space for a few rings or other trinkets French c 1870.
The inlay is all present and there is no damage but the shell has a wrinkled / crocodile skin effect possibly the result of a layer of old lacquer?
