Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1860s.
Originating from the town of Mauchline in Scotland, these fern decorated wooden items became most popular in the Victorian era, purchased as souvenirs on their Scottish visits, made so popular by Queen Victoria's visits.
I have placed some modern spools in purely just to show the box's use, it would be nice to replace with some older wooden ones.
Excellent condition, measuring 4 1/4" across the lid and standing 2 1/2" tall.
