Former Baignol & Farjon pen box with a particularly delicate floral decoration, titled "La Gloire de Boulogne". This reference #2298 features a composition typical of late 19th-century productions, combining roses, gilded frames, and feminine medallions in a very Belle Époque spirit. The name directly refers to Boulogne-sur-Mer, a city historically linked to Baignol & Farjon before its Parisian development. The box still contains its six original nibs, several of which have a superb engraved decoration with a stylized rose. The lid, now fixed to the base, shows signs of old consolidation but retains all its decorative charm.
