A TRULY SUPERB OLD SECRET BOX IN THE FORM OF A BOOK WHICH IS FRENCH IN ORIGIN DATING TO THE 19th CENTURY. THIS IS A REALLY STUNNING BOX WHICH IS MADE OF WOOD AND THEN GILDED WITH BEAUTIFUL PATTERNING BOTH INSIDE AND OUT.

THIS OPENS UP TO A LOVELY INTERIOR WHICH IS GILDED AND PATTERNED ON THE INSIDE OF THE LID AND COLOUR WASHED WITHIN THE BASE WITH GREAT EFFECT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE PARCHMENT PAPER.
