Antique Correspondence Box, English, Leather, Travel, After Asprey, Victorian

19th century
Description

This is an antique correspondence box. An English, aged leather travelling writing case in the manner of Asprey, dating to the mid Victorian period, circa 1860.

Appealing Victorian leather writing box, with fascinating colour

Displays a desirable aged patina and in good original order

Patination to the quality leather, remnants of the original green tanning visible

Leather interior resplendent in the original green hue

Lid dressed with an inset brass carry handle and gold tooled C.B. monogram

Opens to reveal a tray insert with three compartments

Inset tray removable to access a useful, second storage space

The lid reverse hosts an X-shaped leather document holder

Finished with a polished brass Bramah lock — untested, key absent

Unmarked as such, but the colour and quality redolent of Asprey of London
