Antique Victorian Turnbridge Ware Box

What a privilege to hold this antique wooden box. We believe this item is a Victorian Turnbridge wear box, possible composed of an American black walnut timber. Turnbridge ware is famous for their intricate, decorative inlay woodwork. The overall feel of this item is smooth. It would benefit from an application of a high quality wood oil. Within, some of the padded blue lining has come out of the top and does display overall wear.
