Antique Jewellery Box in Calamander, by Asprey
Ref DL175
SOLD
Manufactured and retailed by Asprey during the mid 1860's, this antique jewellery box is veneered in Calamander with brass edging and engraved brass monogram.
The two self-locking Bramah locks are stamped with ‘ASPREY'S PATENT' around the circumference of the front aperture. 'Asprey's Patent' refers to the design of the lock, whereby the front aperture slides to the right or downwards, disengaging the locking mechanism and thus allowing the box to then be opened.
The interior of the box, including the spring-loaded lower drawer, is lined with black velvet and matching grosgrain silk.
Both Asprey Patent Bramah lock plates are engraved with, ‘Asprey - 166 Bond St’. The main lock can be deadbolted using the original Bramah key. ... Read More
