This exquisite, collectible, and uncommon shell box is crafted from card, shells, and fabric. Its design is inspired by a vanity table, with a lift-up lid that reveals a compartment lined with faded pink paper for storing cherished items. The box is adorned with genuine seashells, adding an elegant touch. It is stamped “Made in England” on the bottom.
The piece is 7 inches high, 4.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep.
CONDITION:
The piece is in good condition for its age. Please see the pictures as you review the following points about the box:
— All shells seem to be present with a couple that have a little damage on one side.
— I suspect that the ribbon at the back of the lid that serves as the hinge is likely a REPAIR, but no information was disclosed about this when I purchased it.
—The mirror is intact
—The pink paper lining of the box is somewhat faded.
— There is general dust staining in the crevices, discolouration, wear and staining to the paper that comes with age.
