A delicate testament to elegant evenings of yesteryear, this enchanting mother-of-pearl dance card invites us to imagine the rustle of silk gowns, the strains of an orchestra, and the glances exchanged beneath chandeliers...
Its cover, made of natural mother-of-pearl with iridescent reflections, is finely engraved with a floral decoration framing a cartouche bearing the inscription "Bal". Its charming teardrop-shaped flap, adorned with a small dark button, adds to its elegance.
The interior, lined with deep red silk, retains its original small loops and its miniature pencil, a precious companion for dance evenings.
The pages still bear traces of its history, with dances and names delicately inscribed – so many memories frozen in time...
