From our Jewellery Box collection, we are delighted to offer this English boulle Jewellery Box. The box of sarcophagus form with brass edging and canted lid extensively decorated with brass inlay decoration throughout with various animals. To each side, a pair of squirrels sit opposing each other below an opposing pair of birds with another pair flanking also. The animals are surrounded by scrolling brass inlay with floral motifs and a central butterfly in the 12 o'clock position. The box stood upon four brass bun feet elevating the box above the surface. The lid edged with a brass border, a further extension to the side scenes with further birds and butterflies.
