moreThis is an antique correspondence box. An English, leather bound sarcophagus cabinet with secret compartment, attributed to Houghton and Gunn of London, dating to the Victorian period, circa 1870.
Quality gentleman's stationery box with fascinating concealed compartment
Displays a desirable aged patina throughout
Leather bound with contrasted crimson over black hues
Pleasingly aged, commensurate with age and use

Arranged as a suite of five drawers, two over three of graduated type
Flush drop handles sit within shaped backplates

Unmarked as such, but bears strong hallmarks of Houghton & Gunn of London
