regency-morocco-leather-sarcophagus-box-circa

November 08, 2017

Good, original, untampered condition. Red leather faded to a reddish brown. Slight rubbing and scuffing to the corners, and especially to the bottom front and back corner. Inside, the original velveteen purse or wallet has faded to a pea-green. Original lift-out card tray has some wear to edges and corners, as has the paper lining inside the box. Original owner’s (ie 19th century) pencil annotation underneath.
