    Absolutely charming. I would think Italy as a source. The choice of Modigliani portraits and the pietra dura pattern both point there and the paper also looks of Italian manufacture. 1960s.

    Think it may be the same Charles Marchant who did jewelry.

    Here's a mention in the NEW YORK TIMES from 1981.
