This unique piece was manufactured in the German ‘Gründerzeit’ period. It surprises by its large folio shape which is richly ornamented with fine wood. A brass lock with handles is mounted at the sides and facilitates the opening of the box. Velvet-covered coin storage spaces are installed inside, each covered by a separate lid.



Condition:

The inlays of the box are affected by a number of deeper cracks, scattered losses of material and faint marks. The key of the lock is missing. The interior design of the box seems to be later added and is in good condition with only small traces of use. The box measures 65 x 46 x 8 cm (height x width x depth). (cbo)
