EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Etui à tablettes, or tablet case, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1776-1777, created by the esteemed Ecole Francaise, a renowned artistic school in France. The case, made of ivory and decorated with gold and silverware, showcases intricate designs and meticulous craftsmanship, typical of the French decorative arts during this period. The tablet case is designed for one person, featuring a miniature portrait of a fashionable woman dressed in the latest 18th-century attire. Her elegant hairstyle, adorned with ribbons and curls, is a testament to the importance of hairdressing during this time. The woman's dress, with its voluminous skirt and fitted bodice, is a beautiful example of the fashionable clothing of the era. The tablet case is set against a grey background, adding to the overall sophistication and elegance of the piece. The case is further enhanced with gouache and varnish, giving it a rich, vibrant color palette. The letters "F" and "L" are engraved on the case, possibly indicating the initials of the owner. This Etui à tablettes is currently housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, one of the city's most prestigious museums dedicated to the history of Paris. It is a valuable addition to the museum's collection of historic objects and a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of France during the 18th century.
