Antique Jewellery Box in Coromandel, by Ollivant & Botsford

This antique jewellery box was retailed by Ollivant & Botsford during the mid-1860s. It is veneered in coromandel with brass edging, and a Bramah lock.

The partitioned interior is lined with green velvet and edged with green moiré silk. A brass plate to the rear rim of the box is engraved with ‘Ollivant & Botsford, 2 Exchange St, Manchester’; pressing this plate releases the spring-loaded lower drawer containing a large velvet-lined section and full-width ring/cufflink channel.

The Bramah lock comes with its original Bramah key.
