Victorian amboyna & ebony banded box.

A very good quality amboyna jewellery box, the edges banded in ebony for contrast, the top with diamond shaped inlaid cartouche, the front with matching keyhole escutcheon.

We have re-lined the oroginal interior and lift-out tray with a modern plush grey velvet.

Tassled key for display only. Barely visible old repaitr to a crack to the front left corner of the lid which does not detract from this fine box but explains the low price.

30cm x 20.5cm x 13cm high.
