Description: DESCRIPTION: ANTIQUE BOX. A STUNNING VICTORIAN ROSEWOOD BOX WITH PEWTER STRINGING, MOTHER OF PEARL ROUNDELS AND A MOTHER OF PEARL CARTOUCHE. THE ESCUTCHEON WAS MISSING SO I HAVE MADE A NEW ABALONE SHELL ONE.INTERNALLY IT IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH THE WOODEN LEATHER COVERED SLOPE (SOME REPAIRS), THE COMPARTMENTS AT THE TOP AND A HIDDEN, SECRET DRAWER. ORIGINAL WORKING LOCK AND REPLACEMENT KEY. PLEASE NOTE; THE KEYS ARE HANDMADE AND SPECIFIC TO THE LOCK SO REPLACEMENTS ARE HARD TO FIND, ALSO THE LOCKS ARE VERY OLD AND CAN FAIL, SO I’D ADVISE JUST USING THE KEYS MOSTLY AS DECORATION AND LOCKING THE BOX AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. CONDITION: GOOD WITH JUST A FEW VERY MINOR MARKS COMMENSURATE WITH AGE AND USE (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AS THESE FORM PART OF THE DESCRIPTION). AGE/CULTURE: 1840-1860/BRITISH..SIZE (CLOSED); LENGTH 35CM, WIDTH 24CM, HEIGHT 11.5CM.IT HAS BEEN GIVEN A VERY LIGHT CLEAN AND A BEESWAX POLISH. UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO EXCESS PAPERWORK AND CONDITIONS I NO LONGER SELL TO COUNTRIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION. PLEASE NOTE THE MAJORITY OF MY ITEMS ARE OVER 100 YEARS OLD AND WILL SHOW WEAR AND TEAR AND AS SUCH NOT EVERY IMPERFECTION CAN BE DESCRIBED, SO PLEASE EXAMINE PHOTOS CAREFULLY. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.
