Antique Jewellery Box in Rosewood by David Edwards
Ref DL099
SOLD
Dating from around 1825, this antique jewellery box was manufactured and retailed by one of the finest English cabinet makers, Edwards. It is veneered in figured Rosewood, edged in brass and finished with recessed brass side handles and a Bramah lock.
The inside of the box is lined and ruched with emerald green velvet, and the interior rims are inlaid with brass corner mounts. The top leather-bound and velvet-lined jewellery tray, with a removable sub-tray, lifts out to reveal a secondary leather-bound tray below. With both trays removed, two small concealed pull-out drawers in the base section become accessible.
The ruched velvet panel in the lid drops forward to reveal a concealed leather-bound letter wallet behind. This letter wallet displays a rare David Edwards decorative manufacturer's label, as well as the embossed, gold-tooled maker's mark, 'D. Edwards, Manufacturer to His Majesty. 21 King St Bloomsbury, London'.
The Bramah lock is fully working and comes with a Bramah key. ... Read More
