Summary
Tan coloured leather covered jewellery box having all-over trellis design with lock and key and hinged lid. The inside is lined with green velvet and contains two compartmentalised trays. The top one has a flat top with black leather cover and green moire silk on the reverse. The top tray slides off to the left to reveal the second tray similarly compartmentalised. This should also slide, to the right, to reveal the lower storage area but is jammed.
Provenance
Purchased from the estate of the late Lord Wraxall with the assistance of the NHMF and donations from members and supporters.
