Oriental card holder. Ivory. 19th century. Rectangular card holder with opening on one of the smaller sides, made of ivory and decorated with bas-reliefs on its two main fronts. Garden scenes with pavilions and characters with a clear Chinese influence are presented within four mixtilinear shapes (the largest in the body area, the smallest on the lid). This piece is reminiscent of Canton card holders made to be exported to the West in the same material and with a very similar decoration. It has some damage.
