All other veneer is original and complete and possesses the highly prized and much valued unspoilt patina and being burr walnut the box oozes antique charm. The box is adorned with engraved brassware with stud fixings along with white beads set within brass surrounds.

Original material to the exterior base in far above average condition. All edges keen with the top closing square and true on the original hinges.

The box comes complete with a range read more
