Extremely attractive fine quality inlaid rosewood jewellery box certain to please. Very attractive grain to all aspects, all original, complete and in excellent condition. The lid closes perfectly square. Original brass ‘stop’ hinges. Original lock with a replacement working key supplied. The interior has been skilfully refurbished to serve as a jewellery box. Ruched silk panel within a silk covered frame to the lid interior. Tray comprising of 10 sections 2 of which feature silk covered lids with ornate gilt ring pull knobs. The small sections are ideal for those smaller items of jewellery. Please note the nice finishing touch of the silk top edges of the tray and all of the dividers. Side metal handles to the tray. Storage section beneath the tray with lightly padded silk covered panel to the base for those larger items of jewellery. As impressive as the interior is it is of course the inlaid brass to the box exterior that sets this box apart from most. Typical of the period but more often than not the style of inlay tended to feature on larger boxes, the likes of writing boxes and vanity boxes. Inlaid cartouche and escutcheon again typical of the period with the small brass roundel tips to the escutcheon. Made approaching 200 years ago this item has skilfully been given a new lease of life for modern day use. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Unpacked weight 1.2Kg
