A charming souvenir from Madame Tussauds London, a remarkable survivor! A paper covered wood box with a dome shaped lid stamped with "A Present from Madame Tussauds". The exterior is covered in a mock crocodile paper and the interior has a quilted silk lining in the base and lid. This could have been used for jewellery or sewing items. Madame Tussauds exhibition of waxworks opened in London in 1835. Please note the box has a lock but I do not have the key.
