This is a beautiful Victorian jewellery box, dating to 1880/1890. It has a wonderful light Rosewood veneer and its interior has been fully refurbished by our skilled box restorer. The box is complete with its original working lock and key.

The Exterior

The exterior has a beautiful light Rosewood veneer which has superb figuring. There is a very lovely heart-shaped Mother of Pearl cartouche to the lid, and a shield-shaped Mother of Pearl escutcheon to the keyhole. There are also Mother of Pearl roundels and pewter stringing to both the lid and front of the box.

The box is complete with its original working lock and key, and its original 'stop' hinges. These prevent the lid from falling back.

There is a new felt covering on the bottom of the box which will protect the surfaces of furniture.

The Interior

The interior has been fully refurbished by our skilled box restorer. It has a new hardwood storage tray with three compartments, and its original larger compartment is beneath this.

The base of the lower compartment and the inside of the lid have new padded satin panels.

The compartments of the tray have new satin linings. The tray has been French polished and stained and has a new felt covering on the bottom. This matches the covering on the bottom of the box.

The satin is a lovely sage green shade.

All of the interior walls have new quality paper linings. This is a patterned paper with a beautiful floral/foliate design.

Notes About Antique Locks

We would like to make you aware that antique locks can suddenly malfunction at any time. They are already very old and will naturally have some wear from age and use. We are not responsible for locks that malfunction from further age and use once boxes are purchased.

Please ensure the lock is working as soon as you receive the box.

You can view our full returns policy which includes locks, by visiting our Payments And Returns page.
