Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1800s.

The lid is most unusual, the Satinwood panel of the lid is hinged and opens to reveal an original leather pouch on the underside of the lid to keep papers and letters (wear to the gusseted sides) The box has been re-lined in a hand marbelled paper, to create a fresh and usable interior. It would make a great storage box for papers, letters and photographs or an ideal sewing box; or simply enjoy it's beauty, it really is quite stunning.
Excellent condition, measuring 11 3/4" x 8 1/4" x 5 3/4" tall.
