Stunning Victorian Dressing Box with Original Fittings-Silver Plate-Key-C 1860

A STUNNING AND RARE ORIGINAL ROSEWOOD VENEERED DRESSING BOX FROM CIRCA 1860 (I FOUND SEVERAL INVITES FROM THE 1860S UNDER THE DRAWER-INCLUDED IN SALE). IT HAS A MOTHER OF PEARL CARTOUCHE AND A KEYHOLE ESCUTCHEON AND I HAVE MATCHED A LOCK TO WORK WITH THE ORIGINAL LOCK. INTERNALLY THERE IS A LIFT OUT TRAY WITH ORIGINAL GLASS SILVER PLATED TOPPED JARS (ONE JAR SMASHED ON BOTTOM BUT ALL OTHERS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION). THE LID HAS A PULL DOWN SECTION WITH ORIGINAL GREEN CRUSHED VELVET AND I HAVE MADE A BOX WOODEN FRAMED MIRROR TO REPLACE THE LOST ORIGINAL. HIDDEN/SECRET DRAWER TO THE SIDE WITH ORIGINAL FITTINGS AND LININGS. IT HAS HAD A KNOCK ON THE BACK OF THE LID AT SOME POINT BUT THIS DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL LOOK OF THE PIECE. IT HAS HAD A LIGHT CLEAN TO REMOVE THE SURFACE DUST, A BEESWAX POLISH AND A LIGHT FRENCH POLISH AND IS READY TO USE. A COUPLE OF MINOR NICKS AND OLD REPAIRS TO THE VENEER BUT OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION. GOOD WITH JUST A FEW VERY MINOR MARKS COMMENSURATE WITH AGE AND USE (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AS THESE FORM PART OF THE DESCRIPTION). LENGTH 30.5CM, HEIGHT 16.5CM, DEPTH 22.5CM. (PLEASE NOTE ONLY THE ITEMS DESCRIBED ARE FOR SALE, ALL OTHER ITEMS ARE FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES). IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.
