Large French Box was made in 1891 and is quite simple a Masterclass in Construction and design. The Box was made to store a Ladies Collection of Scarfs ( yes Scarfs!!,... France was a very Rich Country Circa 1890). Lets Start with the Woods used in the Superb French Creation - Birds Eye Maple is the dominant wood with Ebony, Kingwood, Satinwood and Rosewood. The Box is mounted with Brass and raised on 4 Brass feet.
