Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1800s.
Made from solid Mahogany, it is heavily brass bound with quality screwed construction.
Either side has a heavy cast brass carrying handle.

An unusual mechanism is used to open the panel on the interior of the lid, the middle pin on the lock is pulled upwards which releases the panel with a section underneath for storage of papers.
A magnificent and impressive size, measuring 17" x 12 1/4" x 5 1/2" tall. A hefty weight, but domestic & international shipping is included, so no need to worry about that.
