Miniature Antique Jewellery Box in Rosewood, by David Edwards

Dating from the early 1820s, this miniature antique jewellery box is veneered in rosewood. It is finished with brass edging, recessed brass side handles and a central brass viscountess coronet and monogram.

The interior, lined with blue velvet, Morocco leather and moiré silk, is fitted with a beautifully presented manufacturer's label in the lid; set behind glass, and in a kingwood frame, there is a paper label belonging to David Edwards of 21 King Street, Bloomsbury Square. Due to this high level of presentation, it is quite possible that this box served as an advertising piece within its shop.

The Bramah lock comes with its original key.
