“Souvenir” notebook also called ball notebook.
The dishes are in églomisé glass with a rich decoration of bouquets of flowers in gold.
Green silk background.
It has a gilded bronze frame, finely chiseled with garlands of flowers and strawberries.
It closes with a spring, thanks to its original lead pencil stylus, topped with a rosette.
The interior, lined with "ivory" colored silk, contains a "souvenir" heading, the twelve months of the year in polychrome, a weekly planner and its calendar dated 1821.
The glass églomisé technique dates back to Antiquity.
It consists of fixing a thin sheet of gold under the glass.
The decoration is executed with drypoint and maintained by a second layer, or a glass plate.
This delicate process remains fragile over time and our notebook has retained its original state.
Dimensions: 9.8 cm x 7.2 cm
