Sold for: £16
A large rectangular box constructed from brass panels over a wooden frame. The lid features a detailed high-relief embossed scene in the Dutch tavern style, depicting multiple figures in 17th-century style dress engaged in socialising and drinking. The sides are further embellished with deep relief rose blossoms and scrolling foliage. The interior of the box is lined with a green felt material, and the base is of plain wood construction. This type of decorative brassware was common in the United Kingdom during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, often imitating earlier hand-wrought metalwork. No maker marks or signatures are present.
Length: 31.5 cm.
