This is a beautiful antique jewellery box, dating to 1870/1880. It has a stunning partially refurbished interior and its original working lock and key.

The Exterior

This box has a wonderful Walnut veneer which has beautiful figuration.

The lid and front have Burl Walnut veneered panels, framed with beautiful marquetry inlaid bands. The inlay consists of several types of colourful hardwoods which have been skillfully positioned to create a stunning geometric pattern.

The centre of the lid has a superb inlaid Mother of Pearl cartouche, framed by beautiful hardwood inlays. These all have a beautiful elongated diamond shape. There is a matching inlaid escutcheon to the keyhole, comprising of the same materials as the cartouche.

The box is complete with its original stop hinges which hold the lid upright. It also has its original working lock and its original beautiful large bow key.

The edges of the box have an ebonised finish.

The bottom of the box has its original hessian covering which will protect the surfaces of furniture.

The Interior

The interior has been beautifully, partially refurbished, by our skilled box restorer.

The box has a new removable storage tray which has been beautifully French polished and stained. This has four storage compartments of varying shapes and sizes. The rear compartment is the ideal shape and size for laying out chains and necklaces. The front left and right compartments are an ideal size for small pieces of jewellery such as rings, earrings, brooches and pendants. The front centre compartment is ideal for larger pieces such as bracelets and slender bangles/watches. The bottom of the tray has a new felt lining.

Beneath the tray is a large single compartment. This is very roomy and will hold large pieces of jewellery such as broad bangles/watches and chunky beads.

The compartments in the tray have beautiful new high-quality satin linings. The large lower compartment has a new padded satin panel, surrounded with decorative gold cord trim. The walls of the lower compartment have new high-quality paper linings. These have a beautiful floral pattern. The satin is a beautiful mustard gold colour.

The inside of the lid has its original padded silk panel. This has a vibrant violet colour and is beautifully ruched. The panel is framed with new decorative gold trim, to compliment that in the lower compartment. The walls inside the lid have new silver foil linings which beautifully reflect the colour of the violet silk.
