This wooden box has a hinged lid. Inside is a hinged recess to hold a pocket watch, which measures 48mm wide. This hinged part comes forward and then rests on a metal strut allowing the watch to be displayed in a box or in a semi vertical position. The box has applied bone corner pieces and strut work in general all over the box including bone domed detailing and a delightful escutcheon (but no key). The box measures 100mm x 75mm x 50mm and is in 85% mint condition – 4 domed pieces are missing from the lid, which is reflected in the price
