A charming little piece of English travel history. This antique leather cased travelling tumbler features a heavy faceted glass insert with a small sipping lip at the rim, made for easy use on the go. The warm cognac leather has a croc style pressed grain and a blank shield cartouche on the front that was traditionally left plain or engraved with initials.
These compact personal accessories were part of the golden age of rail travel and countryside weekends, when a well packed bag meant having the right kit for every detail. It is practical, beautifully tactile, and it styles effortlessly on a bar cart, bedside table, or desk as a true conversation piece.
