About the Item

This elegant box was handcrafted in the last 15 years of the 19th century. It is made out of leather, wood and fabric. The four sloping compartments suggest that this box was used for stamps. This lovely object with its fine patina resembles a little trunk when standing on a table. In an upright position it resembles a book. Therefore, it can be considered a book with secret compartments and included in a library as such. The box is decorated with fine gold embossed ornaments in Renaissance Revival style. The box was made in Paris, it has the gold embossed address of what probably was the retailer printed on the bottom of the box.
