Razor Holder, Carved Razor Box – Folk Art – Dated And Named – Haute-savoie, France

Mid-19th century France This carved wooden razor case, imbued with simplicity and tenderness, immerses us in the intimate world of Haute-Savoie in the 19th century. Dated 1847, it bears the touching inscription "Jeam Louis Pecheux", where the first name "Jean" becomes "Jeam", a charming little spelling mistake that brings us closer to its author, a certain Jean-Louis, no doubt proud to engrave his name in this object intended to accompany his daily life. Each hand-engraved detail - the delicate flowers, the meticulous geometric shapes - tells the story of a skilled craftsman or peasant, transforming a simple functional case into a true work of folk art. This razor holder exudes the modesty, authenticity and emotion of an era when each object was unique, carrying a soul and a story.
