Amboyna Jewellery - Table Box c.1890

Late 1800s amboyna jewellery – table box in very good condition. Extremely attractive grain, regarded by many as one of the most attractive veneers used on antique boxes during the 19th century. All veneer is original and complete. Original brass shield style escutcheon. Original brass top handle of a style quite popular on late Victorian – Edwardian boxes. The lid closes perfectly square. Original hinges and lock (key for decorative purposes only). The box interior has been neatly relined by a previous owner, all in spotless condition with velvet panels to the lid interior and base section. Given the style of the box this item would be equally suitable for a lady or gentleman or for general storage purposes.
