Large Antique Jewellery Box in Kingwood, by Edwards

Dating from 1825, this antique jewellery box (although unsigned) was manufactured and retailed by one of the finest English cabinet makers, David Edwards. It is veneered and cross-banded with kingwood, edged in brass and finished with recessed brass side handles and a Bramah lock.

The interior of the box is lined with burgundy Morocco leather and matching velvet. The top leather-bound and velvet-lined jewellery tray, with a removable sub-tray, lifts out to reveal a further leather-bound tray beneath. With both trays removed, a velvet-lined base section becomes accessible.

The inner perimeter of the lid is decorated with gold-tooling on leather.

The Bramah lock comes with its original key.
