Beautiful 19th Century Georgian Jewellery Casket

This is a beautiful Georgian jewellery casket, dating to the early 19th century. It is made of solid Mahogany wood and has a beautiful Rosewood veneer.

There is a raised Mahogany panel to the lid with a solid brass swing handle. The keyhole has an inlaid boxwood escutcheon which contrasts beautifully against the Rosewood.

The interior has been beautifully refurbished by our wonderful skilled box restorer. It has two new storage trays which are beautifully French polished and stained. Both have padded, cream satin panels, and 'heritage cream' paper linings. Their bases have plum coloured paper coverings, and the top tray has the addition of silk pull tabs.

There is a large compartment beneath the trays which has also been refurbished. This as well as the inside of the lid, have new satin panels and paper linings to match those in the trays.

The casket is complete with its original key, brass lock, and brass stop hinges. It has lovely squat bun feet which are also original.
