I'm told that the French word for this item is "necessaire" (we pedestrian Americans would probably use the term “manicure set”). What could be more obvious to a lady of high standing and sophistication? The finest materials have been brought into play here, chrome or nickel-plated brass and yes, that would be Macassar ebony, aka "zebra wood." There are two empty holes where (??) used to reside, but the visual impact of this testament to the "swell life" remains entirely intact from across the powder room. I suspect some movie scout will find this and you'll see it in the remake of a Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers film. Or, you’ll buy it and secure an historical artifact for yourself…
Measurements: with the mirror so situated, 11 ¾ high, and the base measures 7 ¾ by 4 3/8. The hand mirror measures 9 7/8 by 3 ¾. less
