A good example of a French box dating from the mid 19th century. The ebonised box is beautifully inlaid with ornate brass and boule style designs and the brass cartouche has engraved initials 'U.D.W'.
Inside, the box has been lined in a blue satin and it comes with a working key.
It is in good condition for its age and the interior is clean and tidy. There are a few small knocks and marks around the outside of the box, some minor chips and some small losses to the inlay but overall it displays well. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
