Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1800s.
In the late eighteenth century wealthy people began to visit Brighton. They believed that bathing in seawater would cure their illnesses. At first only a small number came but in 1783 the Prince of Wales and his friends visited Brighton. Many rich people followed and the town boomed. Items such as this box would have been sold as a souvenir of it's day.
