A necessaire in a body in the form of a vertical casket, consisting of a base and a hinged lid. The body is a gold frame with rococo-style decorative elements of scrolls, floral garlands and figurative compositions, closed by panels of agate and carnelian and burgundy-colored velvet from the inside, on four protruding feet in the form of shells. On the front side of the base, there is an image of a musician with a bagpipe and a reclining lady, on the left side — a squirrel, on the right — a hunting dog, on the back — a boy with a bird. On the pagoda-shaped lid, a round watch is installed, closed by doors with convex glasses on the front and back sides, the lower edge of the lid has an inscription in gold “l'espoir de ta / fidélité fait ma / seule félicité” (the hope for your fidelity is my only happiness) on white opaque enamel. The dial in a bezel of white enamel rhinestones has Roman numerals for hours, minute divisions on the outer ring, two gold shaped hands and a hole with a pin for winding the movement. The watch movement features a spring-driven motor, a simple balance and a verge escapement. From above, the watch is decorated with a three-dimensional twig with pearl flowers and colored glass inserts on the leaves and petals. The lid opens by pressing a button decorated with a rose-cut diamond, inside the base there is a grid with holes for eleven items: two glass perfume bottles with gold caps, a knife, a folding knife, an ear pick, a needle, tweezers with a gold cap, three steel tools with gold handles and two holes for missing items.
