A delicate object, as if suspended between two eras...
This charming Napoleon III era ring holder, made of brass crafted in a bamboo style, has survived the ages while retaining its most precious elements: its beveled mirror, its turquoise glass cup delicately painted with flowers, and its original cut crystal bottle.
Today, it reinvents itself with poetry.
A small cat, with a gentle and slightly mischievous gaze, has come to rest upon it, transforming this antique toiletry item into a true object of curiosity, blending 19th-century refinement with contemporary whimsy.
A unique piece, ideal for a dressing table, a display cabinet, or an interior full of softness and singularity.
