Small Rectangular Trinket Box

From teritone on UK eBay
Rosewood veneered Tunbridge Ware hinge lidded trinket box (circa 1860) with chamfered sides, having an inlayed cube design on the lid of various wood species set in a geometric mosaic border edging. The external wood finish has a original patina, and all the corners of the box are "feather" jointed being a sign of quality made. Internally the box has the original paper lining. Knob is probably bovine bone.
