The Late 16th Century Elizabeth I Diminutive Cedar Wood Table Casket or Desk Box, Circa 1600. England.
 
The raised and moulded top slides open to reveal a recessed well.
 
The entire moulded ''caddy'' with applied edge-mouldings to all faces opens on strap hinges to a box interior exposing an internal sliding peg to the lockable sliding panelled frieze with pyramid centres, concealing four small drawers around a central deeper drawer above a long drawer, all with edge mouldings and turned handles. Raised on an intricately moulded base and raised on what is believed to be all of the original reeded bun feet.
