Group of 5 19th Century Antique Tortoise Shell Trousse w Ivory, Bone, Wood Chopsticks in Scabbard with Knife. Eating Utensils. Marie-Antoinette or book or hunt cabinetCollected over 30 years ago when I was 'into' Japanese Netsuke and added a few of these into a display cabinet with them. Now selling all I had collected in a single offering. The beautiful trousse or scabbard on each is undamaged shell, cognac to chocolate on 4 and a rare green tortoise shell on the 5th set. These are eating utensils, a trousse or travel set, hung on a toggle tucked under a belt or sash and on the other end would be a netsuke to keep
