A vintage red leather jewellery box of rectangular form, finished with a crosshatch-textured exterior and gilt decorative edging to the lid. The box opens to reveal a cream satin-lined interior, stamped J. E. Caldwell & Co., Philadelphia, with a cushioned base designed to accommodate jewellery securely. Retaining its original push-button clasp, this piece is well suited as a period replacement box for jewellery, particularly brooches or small decorative items. A refined and collectible example of an early 20th-century American jeweller’s presentation box.
Dimensions:
8 × 5.8 × 2.5 cm
Condition:
Vintage condition consistent with age. Light surface wear to the exterior and some age-related wear to the interior lining, commensurate with use. The clasp functions correctly.
