This is a pretty antique Victorian Box from the 1800s. It comes in a lovely presentation bag and would be a great gift.

It's made from Papier Mache which has been coated in Black lacquer. It has a detailed pattern to the lid using Abalone shell. The lid also has an interesting brass fitting to it with a glass centre. I'm not sure of the purpose of this but it adds to the uniqueness of the box.

The lid is hinged and the sides and base all are coated in black lacquer. The lid opens to show a black lacquer interior. The hinge and lid close well.

It is in overall good vintage condition. There are a few places where very small parts of the lacquer has worn, particularly around edges or in corners.

It would make a fantastic trinket box to store small items such as rings or jewellery.

It measures 6.5cm by 3.5cm (2.5 inches by 1.5 inches) with a depth of 2.4cm (just under 1 inch).
