Description

The jewelry box is made of Maple wood, we believe and has oval Ivory inlays on the top.  They are carved into designs of flowers and bees.  The box is all put together with brass hand made tooling, hinges & corner beads, with leaf designs.  The lock and key is hand-made.  All corners are rounded smooth.

The inside is padded cloth, that is partitioned off.  Inside of top needs complete restoration.  The inside of the box does need work to restore it back to a beautiful jewel box as it once was.
