A very lovely walnut jewellery box or for small sewing pieces or as desk furniture.
Almost immaculate
A small mother of pearl shield cartouche on the top (original)
Original matching escutcheon
Original lock with a working key (see notes below)
Original brass stop hinges
Size of box is 24.5 cm x 17 cm x 11.5 cm
Lined with dark blue satin and complementary printed marbled paper
Removable tray 2 cm deep and storage below is just over 4.5 cm
The base has very fine blue cotton leather and it has a French polish finish
NB As with all old locks they can be temperamental, I always put a handy crib sheet on how to use them particularly if the key has a knack to it as this one does!
(We are 99% sure the box is walnut but it could well be a light rosewood)
