Elegant Victorian walnut combination work and jewellery box. Hinged cover with a flush-fitting brass carry handle and ebony edging. The fall front panel encloses a pull-out drawer with an elegant swan-neck handle and red silk lining.
The top tier has a removable tray with 9 sections and two removable lids - the other covered sections are for decoration purposes; the tray is lined with original gilded paper. The interior of the lid is lined with luxurious red button-tufted silk.
Beautiful patina and grain to the wood make this a functional, yet decorative piece of Victorian craftsmanship.
Made in England, c. 1880’s.

16 cm tall
21.5 x 27.5 cm across the top
