Not my normal fare, but somethings are just too wonderful to leave behind and this was very much one of them. A tooled, Oxblood red leather jewellery box, made in Paris c.1880 - the epitome of luxury. It remains in wonderfully original condition, complete with three removable trays and working lock with key.

 

It's a fantastic quality piece, weighty and solid. The piano hinge is manufactured in such a way that it supports the lid in an upright position, making it easy to explore the contents. The deep red exterior is complimented with perfectly tooled gilded banding. The removable trays have a tooled, brighter red leather edging that compliments the exterior perfectly. They accommodate everything from rings to a pocket watch and have deep blue velvet bases with matching blue silk sides. The silk is un-perished, the velvet still plush. On the lid of the box is a heavy brass plaque with a beautifully engraved 'M / N' monogram. If this jewel box was ever used it was definitely saved for best. 

 

The box measures 22cm wide x 16.5cm deep x 11cm high
