Antique hotsell Mother of Pearl Needle Case, Palais Royal Sewing Box Notion, Victorian Needle Case, 1800s French Needle Case, Needlework Notion

This is a rare antique mother of pearl needle case from a Palais Royal sewing box. It dates to the mid 1800s. It has a pull off lid that is banded with gold. It hotsell is in lovely condition for its age with one tiny dark blemish on the edge where the two pieces meet. I do not know if that is a naturally occurring fault in the mother of pearl or if it is due to the age of the needle case. The small black mark is only on one side of the case. After all, it's over 170 years old! But in any case, for that reason, I am pricing it accordingly. Please see photos.
