Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1900s.
The keys to either side are beautifully made with the tips being made from carved circular tortoise shell knobs; used to forward the day, date and month (the month roller showing how many days are in that particular month).
The box came to us stored in an old wooden cigar box, the previous owner clearly having kept it safe from damage over many years.
A late Victorian / early Edwardian example dating to c.1900.
3 1/4" wide x 2 1/2" deep x 5 1/4" tall.
