Missing its lift-out tray which would have been fitted and filled with luxurious sewing implements in either mother of pearl or perhaps 18k gold, a\' la Palais Royal, earliest 1800s, but it\'s a fabulous coffret, box, casket and deserves a whole other life as a jewelry box, or perhaps your project to find a replacement tray and tools that will be lovely in it. The old mirror in the lid and the chenille trim are each original, as is papered interior lining. The box is solid lemonwood, contrasted with darker wood edging and base, bun feet. Decorative stain painting on that serpentine lid draws the eye. Such a pretty thing! We\'re listing several of these empty boxes from the same era (sold separately) that look so pretty clustered together (see our final photo). You might want to own them all.

Very good condition for age and type. The old wood is superb, and no chips to note, no cracks. A superb bit of cabinetmaker\'s artistry in the form. And more than 200 years since made, it has lost nothing more than its ring handle up top center (mount remains) and the escutcheon which was likely mother of pearl. As noted the interior\'s original lift-out tray is also gone from this box. Measurements are noted directly on the photos. This one is 7.5\" long.

Shipping and Handling Policy:

You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you\'re thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us.

The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we\'ll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable has been eliminated as an option by , forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replaceable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!

Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is received (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
