    I found this relatively large bonbonniere the other day. When i opened it, there was a little bench inside. the piano is 4 inches long - pretty large for a bonbonniere, i think.

      I have seen one of these in my life. Years ago at a friends house. It was sitting on a shelf and for some reason it fascinated me. Much as I wanted to take it down and look at it, it looked expensive so I kept my hands in my pockets so to speak and just admired it. Now I have seen two and learned what it is actually called. Thanks for sharing.

      Ok, I don't know what a bonbonniere is actually but whatever it is I think this example is really really beautiful- it's so elegant and unusual and would be perfect on a Victorian gentleman's desk.
