Ref: DL106

Dating from around 1840, this large antique jewellery box is veneered in rosewood, and fitted with radial brass edging, ornate recessed brass side handles and a Bramah lock.

The inside of the box is lined and ruched with burgundy velvet, having double brass strung inlay to the interior rims. The removable velvet-lined jewellery tray lifts out to reveal a velvet-lined base section below.

A leather maker's label on the inside of the lid bears the gold-tooled mark reading ‘Bramah, Prestage & Ball - 124, Piccadilly. Manufacturers to Her Majesty’. In addition, the box retains an original hand-printed advertising document for Bramah, Prestage & Ball.

The Bramah lock is fully working and comes with its Bramah key.
