French Jewellery Box by Maison Tonnel

A nice leather covered jewellery box by Maison Tonnel, 12 Rue De La Paix, Paris. c1905. An unusual box which features a triple dial action combination lock. Lock works well and has a special “stop”, housed in the right hand edge, which can be inserted in the middle opening to keep the dials from being moved once open, and therefore operating the mechanism into a “locked” position by mistake. Combination provided ! Internal tray and jewellery pad. The silver cartouche is English and possibly a slightly later addition once purchased from the Paris retailers. Additional photographs and information available on request. FaceTime facility available. Please be aware that the item is old and antique, so study any photographs to satisfy yourself as to its condition as much as possible. While we take all efforts to provide something that is fit for the use intended there many be various condition issues that are commensurate with age and considered part of its history, and are very subjective. However, you have legal rights and Consumer Contract Regulations (2014) still apply for “Distance Selling “ if this is not a “face-to-face” purchase.
