Extremely
Rare Fashion Sized "Bal Carnet" $1295. ON HOLD |
 |
 |
| The French Bal Carnet or dance card can be found in small sizes that can be adapted for your French fashions, but rarely does one actually made for your doll sized companions come along. Early in the 19th century, a lady could organize her dance requests from handsome suitors at the ball, by writing their requests for a dance in her multi-paged tablet such as this piece represents. The front and back cover is of etched mother of pearl and when opened, the numbered ivory pages fan out to display five spaced for her waiting partners' names, that she would write in with the attached bone pencil. Of course the real pages would be of some sort of paper and the pencil of wood and lead, but this is fantasy at its finest! And smallest! The full length of the piece, not including the metal handle link, is 1 1/2". It is only 3/4" wide. |
