The lid features a refined border of inlaid design surrounding a central fruitwood inlay depicting a seashell—an artistic, graceful detail characteristic of the period. The hinged lid opens smoothly to reveal an interior fitted with a partitioned tray, offering thoughtful organization for small personal items.

Originally, a box of this quality may have been used for stationery, personal letters, jewelry, or small valuables kept close at hand on a writing desk or dressing table. Today, it is just as versatile—perfect for storing jewelry, keepsakes, desk accessories, or any small items you’d like to keep both organized and beautifully presented.

Hand selected in and imported from England, it is a charming, refined example of Edwardian craftsmanship. See less
