A vintage embossed Italian hand stitched leather covered wooden oak box in the form of an antique book which measures 7.4 ins (188 mm) x 5.5 ins (140 mm) x 2.3 ins (58 mm) deep.
The box has a Roman centurion on the front with antique style decoration on the front, back and spine. the leather cover has been hand stitched around the edges.
It is of good quality and in very good condition with very light signs of use.
A lovely decorative secret book box which would make a very welcome addition to anyone's collection.
