MISCELLANEOUS, Objet d'vertu. A Victorian treen object with a small agate insert. Base is treen with a circular agate insert at the top that has a depression in it. Has a treen lid to cover the agate. Purpose is not know, but has a wide base, indicating it is to sit on a table or desk, rather than be carried. Depression is much too small to be an ink stand. My guess is that it is a patch holder for a ladies boudoir table. An internet search does not turn up a similar object, presumably these are pretty hard to find. Late 1800s to early 1900s. England. Treen ware is quite collectible. 1-1/2" tall, Base is 1-3/4" wide.
