Dating from the late 1870s, this large and impressive antique jewellery box is veneered in beautifully figured coromandel, with brass inlay and edging, and recessed brass side handles. The exceptionally figured coromandel veneer is amongst the finest I have seen on an antique box.

The interior is lined in cushioned burgundy velvet and moiré silk. Fitted within the lid is a magnificent engraved brass framework, divided into six sections, bordered with intricately pierced floral and foliate scrollwork, set against a burgundy velvet backing. The interior brass fittings are engraved with matching decorative designs.

The box is fitted with a Bramah lock, complete with its working Bramah key.
