Description

This is a fine example of a beautiful burr walnut box with silver and mother of pearl inlaid detail dating from the mid 19th Century. Most likely to have once been a tea caddy or trinket box it has now been relined with a beautiful fitted tray with blue silk lining and marbled paper. The tray lifts out to reveal an additional lined storage area below. It has a mirror under the lid and it comes with a working key. The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
