Additional Information

Notes historical bibliographic

The term 'nécessaires', from the French 'nécessaires de voyage', identifies a series of boxes, mainly made of wood, specially designed to contain tool kits of various kinds, 'necessary', precisely, to face long-term journeys. with the aim of satisfying the different needs of the traveller. Articles of great refinement and strictly personal use could contain, for example, toilet, writing, sewing and cutlery tools, made with more or less valuable materials depending on the manufacturer and the client. This type of artefact had great success and use during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, centuries characterized by the Grand Tour, explorations, transatlantic crossings and more generally by very uncomfortable and long journeys, far removed from the conditions to which we are accustomed today . The toiletry bag described here was made by MAIRE, a Maison based in Paris in “Rue St. Honoré, n°.154” owned by Pierre-Dominique Maire (1763-1827), one of the two main Parisian manufacturers of toiletries (l the other was Martin-Guillaume Biennais, Napoleon's silversmith) during the revolution and the first empire; he carried out commissioned work for the royals of Europe and for the most important dignitaries of the time. He himself defines himself as “Fabricant de Necessaires du Roi”, as reported on the label preserved on the back of the mirror. The quality of manufacturing reaches a very high level in this sewing kit, attested both by the materials used, above all gold and turquoise stone, and by the finesse and elegance of the chisel work. The gold parts bear the guarantee hallmark depicting a "ram's head", a mark introduced in France with the Law of 22 October 1817 and used until around 1835. for testing small objects. This kit is also accompanied by an appraisal from 1980, issued by the Parisian gallery "La Galerie des Laques", which, in addition to being further confirmation of the high quality of the object.

Style: Charles X (1824-1830)

Referring to a very short period, the Charles X style denomination is nonetheless significant because it allows us to detect some specific elements of the taste of the time.
nIt can be considered the last phase of the stylistic research of the Restoration, in which bourgeois requests and needs are welcomed, and opens up to a taste for the Gothic.
nCharacterized by wavy and wavy lines, which oppose the more squared ones of the Empire, it mainly uses light woods with darker threads and very few metal applications.
