A fine example of a beautiful sarcophagus shaped box dating from the early 19th Century. It is veneered in a beautiful burr walnut and stands on bun feet with moulded panelled sides.
The interior of the lid is lined in a rich red velvet and the box itself is lined in a red silk with small buttons at the bottom, ideal for use as a sewing or jewellery box. It comes with a working key.
It is in very good condition for its age and has been well made and well looked after. The colour and patina of the wood is superb. There are some minor signs of age and use, a few small marks and knocks but nothing detrimental. The interior is generally clean and tidy and overall it displays well. It has been cleaned and gently polished and is ready for use.
