The Coromandel Jewellery Box by Leuchars is a mid nineteenth century example dating to circa 1860 veneered in richly figured Coromandel wood with sterling silver mounts.
Of compact rectangular form, the Jewellery Box is mounted with sterling silver corner straps, matching barrel escutcheon and an engraved silver plaque to the lid bearing the crest of the Pauncefort-Duncombe family above the Latin motto “DEO REGI PATRIAE” translating as “For God, King and Country”. The crest and motto are associated with Sir Philip Duncombe Pauncefort-Duncombe, 1st Baronet (1818–1890) of Great Brickhill Manor, Buckinghamshire. The Coromandel veneer displays strong figuring throughout contrasted against the bright silver mounts typical of high quality Victorian dressing cases...
