Description
Antique jewellery box in the form of a shipping crate/ trunk/ chest, complete with faceted stud work for added strength. One of the studs serves a double purpose! To open this box you must press the third stud up on the right-hand side of the escutcheon, this will cause the lid to spring up ready to be lifted. This reveals a green silk paper and a velvet-lined interior. The box has really been expertly made from what we think is birch, constructed with superb dovetailed joints and then painted to simulate Pine, with a painted bottle either side and initials BR with an anchor underneath and the number 1145. The base of this packing case box bears a gold signature “Muster Schut” and more, currently, we can’t attribute but signifies it could be German.
Quite unique and very decorative packing case could be used to store a nice timepiece, jewellery or a small remote or even a bunch of keys.
