Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1910s.
The lid opens to reveal a two compartment interior with a central brass divider. The interior of the lid retains the original silk lining.
A very stylish and desirable box in excellent condition; I have shown a small crack in one corner, insignificant and mentioned purely for accuracy. The box retains it's original finish so I have left a tiny label intact on the lid but this could be removed. 10" max x 4" deep x 7" tall.
