Age is very difficult but I would think over 200 years.
Its solid oak the patina is top draw and strangely the grain on the inside is a tiger like.
The top is covered in thick leather and studded which are all in place.
One of the best for its age I have seen.
Measures: 40x27x20cm.
Weighs 4Kg.
These
little artworks had a privileged location on the best english homes during the
XIX century, accompanied the nobles on their journeys and the senior offices in
their campaigns. They were extremely useful and also a sign of distinction.
Take this
opportunity. The current global economic situation has made this type of works
have a bargain price when valuing the wood they are made of, their age and
their perfect finish. But this situation will no longer last as probably
soon these works will reach again the
prices they used to have.
