A vintage jewellery presentation box by Fred Leighton, New York, designed to hold a gentleman’s dress set, cufflinks, shirt studs or a combination of small jewellery pieces.
The rectangular case is covered throughout in deep red suede-effect material and opens to reveal a matching fitted interior. The base contains shaped recesses suitable for cufflinks, dress studs, shirt buttons or small matching accessories.
Fred Leighton became recognised for dealing in historic and period jewellery after the business shifted its focus towards antique jewels and moved uptown in New York during the 1970s. The branding and construction indicate that this is a later 20th-century presentation box rather than a 1950s example.
Dimensions -
Exterior: 8.7 x 6.2 cm
Condition :
Good vintage condition overall with light surface rubbing, handling marks and minor dust consistent with age and storage. The fitted interior retains its shaped compartments and the gold Fred Leighton branding remains clearly visible. The hinge and front catch are present.
