4.5" H x 9.25" W x 6.25" D

A charming antique dome-top personal box from the late Victorian to Edwardian era, crafted in warm walnut-toned veneer with classic silver-tone shield hardware. The arched “camel-top” silhouette is a timeless English form originally made for private storage on a dressing table or desk, ideal for letters, keepsakes, jewelry, or small valuables.

This piece features a shield cartouche on the lid (traditionally intended for a monogram or initials) and a working lock with key, which makes it as functional today as it was a century ago. The surface shows rich patina and character that only comes with age, and the interior is clean and ready to use.

Condition:

Wear consistent with age and use, including surface scratches, veneer losses and bubbling concentrated on the left side, and an older veneer patch/repair visible at a corner. The underside covering shows notable wear. Lock functions and the key works. Interior is clean and in good condition.
