Andrew Cox Antiques has dated this piece to the 1910s.
The box is shaped and finished with a decorative border to the top. To the centre the words 'Safe bind, Safe find' are engraved in script writing. Safe bind, Safe find orginating from a mid 16th century proverbial saying, simply meaning that something kept securely will be readily found again - a charming sentiment. The interior is fully gilded and to the underside the retailers mark of Collingswood & Co, 46 Conduit St. London is found, both of these adding to the quality feel of this wonderful piece.
