This is for a beautifully preserved antique wooden stationery box with Gothic Brass strapwork around the dome shaped lid and front. It dates to the mid 1800s and is made from Burr Walnut with strong natural markings and deep colours to the wood. The brass work has the original pins and inside the box has the original compartments finished in purple silk as is the underside of the lid. It is a really well made quality English made box which is in excellent condition with light wear... only. It measures 240mm (9.5") x 125mm (5") at the base and stands 165mm (6.5") tall. It is missing its key so the lock is untested.
