Description
Please see my stock page for the largest selection of jewellery boxes available on this website. Highly attractive brass bound jewellery box equally suitable for use by a lady or gentleman. The box is obviously of quality construction. Solid mahogany carcass with an outer skin of rosewood with solid rosewood rounded edging. Please note the extent of the original inlaid brass bands and corner pieces and the fact that the brass bands extend down the full depth of the back of the box rather than stop at the back edge of the lid. Original inlaid top handle. Original escutcheon. All veneer is original and complete. The lid closes perfectly square on the original stout hinges. The lock is a replacement, fully functional and comes complete with a working key. The box interior has been refurbished keeping in mind practicality for modern day use. The sides of the base section feature lacquered mahogany. The lid interior and the base lining beneath the trays feature a panel to complement the base lining of the sections within the two removable trays. Though both trays fit the base perfectly I believe that they are replacements. Please note the quality…..all covered with the original leather in quite remarkable condition. The storage is flexible to suit requirements i.e. Deeper or more shallow tray can be placed at the bottom or top. The shallow tray comprises of 6 storage sections , the centre two narrow ‘strips’ ideal for ear studs or possibly tie pins/collar studs. The deeper tray comprises of ten storage sections of various dimensions. The square section and the two outer long sections to the sides have the original removable bases with small ‘secret’ storage areas beneath. It is certainly the case that the feature was intended as the bases beneath the removable bases are lined with the same leather. All dividers are original and as stated the leather throughout is in remarkable condition. Both pull tabs on both trays are original and in excellent condition suggesting little use. The coloured bases to complement the lid interior are removable therefore giving choice of appearance and/or ease to renew/replace in years to come. The jewellery shown is not included in the sale and is shown merely to give an idea of suitability of use by a gentleman. An extremely attractive and practical piece of antique woodenware that far exceeds the vast majority of modern produced jewellery boxes in terms of quality, appearance, durability and flexibility. Recommended.
