Brass Bound Jewellery Box. C1840

Please see my stock page for one the largest selection of jewellery boxes available on this website. Very early Victorian brass bound rosewood box that would be ideal to serve as a modern day jewellery box for a gentleman or lady. The dimensions of the box are such that it would fit easily on a bedside table or shelf. The box is veneered with rosewood, all original and complete. Inlaid brass bands that extend from the bottom edge of the front, across the lid And down to the bottom edge of the back (most boxes with straps tend to stop at the back edge of the lid). The cartouche and straps are certainly original and the oval escutcheon is a replacement. Original hinges and lock. Key for decorative purposes only. Original removable mirror held in position by the original swing clasp. The mirror is original has obviously got some ‘spotting’ but folds open and stands exactly as it did when new. The base section features the original removable panel with hooped retainers to retain various accessories that have long gone but could be sourced. The leather is in excellent condition, the hoops are still fully intact as are the original pull tabs. Original divider in excellent condition. The underside of the removable panel and the bottom of the base sections have been relined with a marble effect paper, all in spotless condition. Decent box with a high degree of original features.
