Nineteenth-Century English Tortoiseshell Sewing Box, the hinged case with boxwood and ebony dovetail banding, opening to a pull-out tray fitted with conforming lidded compartments, some inlaid with bone, h. 4-5/8", w. 12-1/2", d. 8-1/2".
- Condition: There are several small losses and patch repairs to the tortoiseshell case, and some slight bucking to the tortoiseshell on the top. There are three shrinkage cracks to the inside of the hinged lid and one to the bottom of the box. Some small losses to the ebony and boxwood dovetail banding. The interior is largely intact, with no notable losses to the tortoiseshell or banding on the lidded compartments. The sewing box is structurally sound and its condition is consistent with age and use. The key to the box is lacking.
