The interior is wood lined and fitted with an older burgundy textile lining. Brass tone front clasp and hinges. The workmanship appears hand assembled rather than modern printed decoration, with the small individual inlay pieces clearly visible.
A decorative storage or jewellery box with attractive age, surface wear and patina.
