RARE! Yes, the perfume flask, flacon, is in place. I found the perfect period one to fill the fitting, so the sewing box misses only the 2 silk winders and those are easy to add. These piano or harpsichord miniatures are increasingly rare to find, particularly in fine condition as you see with this one. It has a music box, as well, and it has its key and plays well (don't overwind it!). A charming French creation, the keys are all mother of pearl and shimmer in rainbows depending on angle of light. The interior is very nice, still with the chenille trimmed pad. I've taken photos of this one with its original mirror which has a break toward bottom which has been held together with tape. We are able to replace the mirror if our buyer wants it done before shipping - just ask. Sometimes the old original mirror is valuable so we'll let you choose. Silver sewing tools, mother of pearl spools, and the exterior of this one is just truly perfectly gorgeous! No chips, no cracks, all the legs. Rick said he did a sound file and that will be added so you can hear the music box. Likely an item originally sold in the boutiques of the old Palais Royal. Full measurements noted on the photos. 

Very good to excellent condition for age and type. Box is superb! The interior is very nice, still with the chenille trimmed pad. I've taken photos of this one with its original mirror which has a break toward bottom which has been held together with tape. We are able to replace the mirror if our buyer wants it done before shipping - just ask. Sometimes the old original mirror is valuable so we'll let you choose. Silver sewing tools, mother of pearl spools, 2 bodkins which were found inside the big needle case. Mother of pearl spools, and only missing the 2 silk winders, which are the easiest pieces to find and add-in. The cap on perfume is gold rather than silver. The exterior of this one is just truly perfectly gorgeous! Rich burl wood contrasted in lemon wood, and with ebonized legs, all intact. No chips, no cracks, all the legs. Full measurements noted on the photos.
