The top tray removes to access further storage below which is lined in a green and white tartan. The inside lid of each sewing box drops down with a catch allowing access to further storage for designs and paperwork. The pair of boxes are likely to have been commissioned for two sisters or possibly a mother and daughter. The Sewing Boxes date to the late Georgian period during the reign of William IV circa 1830. The Sewing Boxes come complete with working locks and tasseled keys. Rosewood has many variations. Indian Rosewood, also known as Bombay Rosewood or Bombay Blackwood, is found in India and Indonesia. It is highly valued for its striking appearance with colours ranging from a medium-brown to dark red-brown with even darker grain lines. Madagascan Rosewood, found in Madagascar is a pink-brown colour with a darker almost purple grain. Mother of Pearl is an organic-inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer. It is the same material that natural pearls are made from and is desirable due to its strong and resilient makeup along with its beautiful iridescent shimmer.
