Charming antique dance card dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, made of ivorine or ivorine-like celluloid.
This delicate lady's accessory is distinguished by its elegantly scalloped shape and its lovely hand-painted floral decoration. The blue flowers, reminiscent of delicate violets or forget-me-nots, are accompanied by small flowers in warm tones, adding a particular poetry to the whole.
The inner pages feature a slight relief imitating the veins of a petal or leaf, a refined detail typical of Belle Époque fancy items. The old textile tassel is still present and contributes to the authentic charm of this piece.
The original pencil is no longer present.
