A stunning little box, clad in leather on its front, back, sides and top, and decorated with multicolored tooling. Inside, the box is tastefully lined with colored end papers. The lid is lifted by a fine forged iron handle, and an iron latch once secured the contents. The lock no longer functions, so the key is for effect only.

Probably Continental, ca. 1800

Dimensions: 13” X 9”; Height: 5 ½”

Price: $295
