An attractive desk box with running guilloche carving to the face and a sloping, hinged lid made from a single oak board. The interior is plain, and the lid is hinged with a pair of early, forged butt hinges. The carving on the face is well-executed and particularly appealing.

Recently de-accessioned from our collection.
