RARE Antique 18th Century French Palais Royal Carved Ivory 18k Pique D – Antiques & Uncommon Treasure
Parting with my own collections, and this is one - 18th century French Dieppe hand carved spaniel or poodle dog is a sewing needle case. Sweetest little pup, if you look closely, he has 18k gold pique collar with a name carved on the collar. Perhaps a memento of someone's favorite dog, or carved with name of the woman
Parting with my own collections, and this is one - 18th century French Dieppe hand carved spaniel or poodle dog is a sewing needle case. Sweetest little pup, if you look closely, he has 18k gold pique collar with a name carved on the collar. Perhaps a memento of someone's favorite dog, or carved with name of the woman who once owned him. I'm unsure if it was once part of a large sewing necessaire, or sold as a single item, but it's certainly a Palais Royal type item. Measurements noted on the photos.
Very good to excellent condition for age and type, the 2 halves fit tightly and perfectly together, without gap (seems I didn't push it fully together for the photos, but it does fit snug). Tiny 18k gold pique work make a collar, and his legs are carved and so cute, as is his face. The single imperfection is the inner lip which does have a chip (see images). Excellent display piece. NOTE: shown on petit point silk tapestry panels which are not included.
IMPORTANT NOTE regarding antique tortoise shell or ivory: We are great supporters of protection for endangered species in our modern world. We never buy or sell anything 100 years or newer; we donate to anti-poaching organizations; we don't hunt; we conserve in ways that impact global warming (we're totally solar at home), knowing those measures also protect the animals in the wild today. We also recognize the vast cultural history we preserve with our care and reverence for these antique objects, and agree with CITES that objects over 100 years of age have nothing whatsoever to do with species depletion in our current world.
Our offering exceeds the age limitation of more than 100 years of age, and is well within the exemption for CITES regulation. If imported, met the CITES regulation. This item will be handled and shipped from our Utah business, and is not available for shipment internationally, nor within the USA to California, NY, Nevada, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington if it contains ivory, sorry. Please see our small print for more details.
