Victorian 1/4 Veneered Flame Mahogany Box- Lovely Interior with Tray- Lock & Key

This is a beautiful Victorian 19th Century antique portable box which is quarter veneered with flame mahogany that gives a mirror image. it has a decorative brass handle to the centre of the lid which folds down either way when not in use. This box has the added advantage of having a good working lock and key which functions well and locks and unlocks the box easily. The lid is a good fit with stop hinges that are safe and secure and this opens up to a really lovely interior that has been relined with a red quilted silk material and comes with a matching three compartment tray which lifts out to give further space underneath. it is a good size box which would be ideal for the safekeeping of jewellery and keepsakes and would make a lovely gift. It is in a very good antique condition with fair wear and tear plus commensurate surface markings in keeping with its great age. the veneer is in pretty good order with a little light restoration around the base but nothing that is particularly noticeble or detrimental though please also study the photographs for condition as they help to form part of the description. This box has the most wonderful colour and grain plus naturally occurring marks to the wood that gives it such a stunning appearance and overall it is just a beautiful period piece that displays so well and could be used for many things or even given as a gift.
