Such a gorgeous richly inlaid box. Here is what Wikipedia says about it.
"Turnbridge ware is a form of decoratively inlaid woodwork, typically in the form of boxes. That is, Shaped rods and slivers of wood were first carefully glued together, then cut into many thin slices of identical pictorial veneer with a fine saw."
Beautiful exterior, interior is lovely but needs some love to function as a desk, main pieces remain. OR many people simply line with velvet, adding separation fo...r jewelry. Double or triple its price with very little attention. We bought this at auction many years ago so it only has limited provenance with us. Over 100 years beyond our ownership.
Key does not work
Nor sure what the wood is. Mahongany or Walnut? Itsd presence gives an air of elegance and wealth. You'll love it for your home. What an elegant gift this would make!!!
Measures 12"x7"x4"
