Perhaps once a jewellery specific box with a removable top tray, this box is now marble paper paper lined but with the original royal blue padded silk lid and working lock with key.

The middle ground is further populated by a series of geometrical motifs and is finished with a serpent border

stars and guls encased by a running dog border giving way to tarantula lozenges in each corner and a solitary central lozenge motif

Honestly made by a country craftsman this antique chopping board

with a good patina and consists of a top valley trough

and a ceramic mixing palette which lifts out to reveal a pencil tray below

the instruments are made of the finest metals and with extreme precision

Depth: 21 inch

After the resounding success of Crystal Palace 1851
