A superb quality 4-3/8" across Sorrento ware wood inlay trinket or jewellery box from the mid to late 19th century. This box stands 1-3/4" high and it has wonderful colour and workmanship. The sides feature red banding and a Greek key design in green, yellow and black with a brown ground. The top is the highlight, with literally thousands of individually placed fruitwood tesserae in a needlepoint-style flower and leaf panel decoration - the effect isquite similar to a carpet; the colours are bright and unfaded and the fine workmanship is remarkable. The interior of the box is olive wood. The condition of this unsigned, brass-hinged box is very good indeed for a box of its age and type, with only some very small barely noticeable losses and craquelure to the finish. There is a small loss along the edge of one corner panel, some minor lid warping to the hinge and front edge leaving small gaps, a thin crack and small corner losses to one lower red band on one side panel and the possible replacement of one half of one hinge with a non-brass one. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping to the continental U.S. is $7.50 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. Expresspost-air post and Fedex are available for faster shipping options - please email with your zip code or postal code for the rates.

A scarce and unusual Royalty item! This is one we haven't seen before, in 27 years of selling Royalty commemoratives. This is a 2-5/16" diameter two piece early thermoplastic composition (similar to the early daguerrotype cases) covered box - probably a snuff box - issued to commemorate the wedding of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1840. It has a domed yellowish celluloid/plastic protective cover (a replacement, of much more recent origin, probably 1920 or 1930 - it was undoubtedly a glass dome originally) that has been cut to sit within the brass retaining bezel in the lid or cover. This was to protect the gilt metal or composition cameo medallion of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert that is mounted in the centre of the cover, with the legend VICTORIA AND ALBERT MARRIED 10. FEB. 1840. The bottom has a nice typical 19th century geometric impressed design. The interior is unlined, and this unusual souvenir piece is in excellent condition, with no repairs or damage other than the replaced protective glass; it remains in superb original condition for its 164 years of age with only some very minor soiling on the bottom (possibly removeable), and some dust under the glass (we haven't removed it). A rare addition to your collection. Surface shipping starts at $6 (to the US, other spots may vary) insured is higher and insurance is required on items paid by credit card over $85 in value. We ship internationally, and all prices are in $US.
