The Cabinet of rectangular shape with a domed top veneered in Coromandel with brass fixings including flush-mounted carry handles and shaped escutcheons.

The box dates to the 19th century Victorian era circa 1875.

In 1848, his two sons George William Betjemann and John Betjemann joined him under apprenticeships until 1846 when George William Betjemann started his own business with his two sons. In 1859 George moved to a new premises on Pentonville road, London. This was when the business became known as ‘Betjemann & Sons’. John Betjemann was grandfather of the later famous poet laureate Sir John Betjemann.
