The box has brass edging which contrasts with the rich colour of the burr walnut. This also helps to protect the edges of the box. 

The brass is held in place by small square sectioned pins  which are driven in at an angle. 

The box has been relined with velvet and marbled paper.

 

 The box has a sprung velvet lined drawer  and a lift out tray suitable for storing jewelry.

The drawer is released by pressing the button  in the center of the back between the hinges.

The felt on the bottom is a replacement.

The box has a working 2 lever lock and key. The lock plate is stamped " patent".
