The top tray can be removed via the two brass handles either side to access further storage below with larger partition for further jewellery and watches. Although unsigned the Box is undoubtedly by David Edwards of London. The Jewellery Box dates to the latter Georgian era during the Reign of George IV circa 1830. The Jewellery Box comes complete with working lock & key. Measurements (Inches) 6.1 High x 13.8 Wide x 10.25 Deep David Edwards was a renowned Cabinet maker from London holding a Royal Warrant specialising in Dressing Cases & Writing Slopes. Edwards established his cabinet making business in 1813 based at 84 St James’s Street, London. He remained at this address for only a year before moving to 21 King Street, Bloomsbury, London. As the Edwards company grew in both size and reputation Davids nephew Thomas Edwards joined the business in 1832 and took full control after David died in 1848. The firm earned the Royal Warrant from George IV, William IV and Queen Victoria which also included the Royal Family. The company’s mark changing accordingly under her Majesty’s reign. The firm won a prize medal for excellence of workmanship at the Great Exhibition of 1851 when it was taken over by Thomas’s son, Thomas Jeyes Edwards. Thomas Jeyes Edwards continued to run the business until 1858 when it was bought out by Aspreys of London of which Thomas Jeyes took employment until his retirement in 1872. The company throughout its duration made exceptional quality boxes with substantial brass work often incorporating Bramah locks with the boxes. Edwards boxes are sought after today due to their renowned craftsmanship and the notoriety of the Royal Warrant. 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.
