Antique Very Rare 1/6 Plate MoP Photo Case w/ Back Painted Glass & Daguerreotype

• Excellent Example of a Fancy Antique Photograph Case
• This case, also called a “casket” has a wood body with Mother of Pearl Scales on leather covers.  The front cover has a small glass window with a painting, “Coy Young Lady”.
• A similar, smaller 1/8th plate case is recorded by Berg as 6-316 [very very rare]
• The interior has a lovely green velvet pad. and holds a 1/6 Plate daguerreotype of 3 young sisters holding parasols.
• It is interesting to note that these types of rare cases were all individually made, typically one of a kind. 
• There are similar styles, inlay, etc.  however finding an exact duplicate is very unlikely.
• Great rare addition to your collection!
