The patina on this beautifully shaped sewing box is quite wonderful, over 200 years has given the red leather a rich dark colour, the leather still with a soft sheen. The red leather is embossed inside and out.

The box has some exquisite brass fittings, enhancing it's exquisite shape. The front has a large brass escutcheon which houses the working tasselled key. Each side has a typically Regency handle in the form of a large urn filled with flowers complimenting the grand Lion's paw feet.

The interior is totally original with a typically Regency blue coloured paper and velvet, the interior of the lid is hand-painted onto the velvet and surrounded by gold embossed paper. This can be opened to reveal a secret compartment where letters and papers would be kept safe. The box came to me as is, with all sorts of bits and bobs and are included. These include some period bone spools, a couple of thimbles, some old instruments etc.

Superb antique condition measuring 8 1/4" x 6 1/4" foot to foot x 3 3/4" tall.
