This box was always on my grandfather\'s dresser. Unfortunately, I never asked who made it and have no idea how old it is. It is elaborate, intricate, and exquisite!

- Very solid overall construction with smooth surfaces and tight joints
- Every visible surface of the box, lid, and tray has adecorative design, including the top rim edges of the tray and inside rim edgesof the box and lid
- Unique marquetry design on each surface – no two sides orsurfaces are alike
- Bottom surfaces of box & tray are padded in a cottonplaid fabric
- Tiny hand crocheted button covers on tufted bottom lining(one is missing)
- Mirror is unbroken but has age-related claritydeterioration and is held loosely in place by ribbons & padding
- Velvet ribbon (held in place with tiny original nails) holdsthe lid when open
- Two screws on one hinge appear to have been replaced (oneside has tiny Phillips head, the other side has tiny slot screws)
