This beautifully crafted piece features a rich, deep red leather exterior adorned with applied silver metal triangular embellishments at each corner and a striking central ornament on the lid. The design exudes Edwardian-era elegance and would make a distinguished addition to any study, library, or office setting.

The interior opens to reveal a thoughtfully arranged compartment system, perfect for organizing correspondence, notes, and desk accessories. What makes this piece particularly rare is the ingenious perpetual calendar mechanism built into its base — featuring three glass windows for displaying the month, weekday, and date. Adjustable via discreet knobs beneath the lid, the display still retains its original ribbons, though they will require assessment and repair to be fully functional once again.

Measuring approximately 10.5 inches wide, 8.5 inches high, and 6.5 inches deep, this stately accessory is likely of European origin, though unmarked. It shows areas of age-related wear, staining, and a missing pin to one of the central silver ornaments. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

A wonderful decorative object for collectors of fine desk accessories, Edwardian décor, or antique leather goods. See less
