LARGE ANTIQUE TRINKET BOX

A large and beautiful campaign style multipurpose trinket box in sensational black cherry wood which has very eye-catching grain. The box is very imposing and weighs a substantial 6.8 kg.
The box has been converted and upcycled from a mid 19th Century writing slope and has been skilfully lined with a lovely plum coloured velvet. A new lift-out tray has been created to provide extra storage and display potential. 
It is suitable for a multitude of applications such as jewellery, valuables, collector's pieces, trinkets, documents etc.
I have photographed some of my silver card case collection inside the box as a suggestion of potential usage, these are not included in the sale. 

Date: mid 19th Century circa 1850

Condition: Very good upcycled functional condition. The original internal fittings have been removed and the interior including the tray and velvet lining are new additions. The box has been refinished and repolished externally. The key is absent.
