Vintage manicure set in burgundy leather, crocodile-style case, gilt metal

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Old manicure set presented in a burgundy genuine leather case with a crocodile-like design, featuring a red velvet interior and toiletry tools with gold, silver, and black finishes.

Description

This manicure kit brings together several grooming accessories stored in a rigid burgundy case with a shiny, embossed crocodile-like surface. The interior is lined with deep red velvet, structured by matching loops designed to hold the instruments.

The set notably includes nail clippers with gold handles, scissors, files, and precision tools with dark handles, as well as pieces with gold metal tips. The mention "Genuine Leather" is visible inside the case.

The presentation retains the charm of an old travel or toiletry kit, with a striking contrast between the burgundy leather goods, the red velvet, and the gold metallic elements.

Context

Manicure and toiletry kits belong to the tradition of personal leather accessories, designed to organize grooming instruments in a compact case. This type of sheathed case, with interior compartments and loops, evokes 20th-century travel sets, combining functionality and careful presentation.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The case shows a patina of use consistent with its age: traces, scuffs, marks on the interior velvet, and localized wear on the loops. Some slots appear empty or incomplete. The instruments show signs of use and small oxidations or surface scuffs, without detracting from the decorative appearance of the set.

AFW

Careful packaging and professional shipping. Each item is prepared with attention to ensure adequate protection during transport.
