A pari of tortoise piqué Malingres

[Aggelos]

Here is a pair I won with a lot of luck (like, I just paid to play the game, and I won)








The maker is Malingres Fils, (or Malaingres, both exist, we did not seem to care much in the past), heirs to Malaignre Staurenghi ESR.
The work on the spine is typical of the brand, but "pushed to the extreme".
The scales are tortoise obviously, with silver included using what I suppose is "piqué" work.

There is an accident on a pair of scales, but the silver flower included makes it solid nonetheless

Truly wonderful pieces
