Description
A 19th century Victorian-style box constructed with figured wood, appearing to be walnut veneer, featuring a rounded lid with an inset metal handle. The front of the box is fitted with a simple metal escutcheon and a keyhole. The interior of the lid is upholstered in green button-tufted silk accented with yellow pins. The main compartment contains a removable wooden tray lined with black velvet, positioned above a base lined with green fabric. The box is accompanied by two small metal keys and a detached metal lock plate. The construction and interior fittings suggest use as a jewellery or sewing box.
