The hinged cover is also decorated with engine turned designs around a circular button cartouche engraved with a set of contemporary script initials. The edge of the cover displays a wide, finely detailed, band of raised oak leaves and acorns. This box is in excellent, crisp, condition and is very well mark in side in the base and on the underside of the cover. The interior gilding is also in excellent condition.
Edward Edwards II was a small worker who produced very fine boxes from the entry of his first mark in 1828. He had workshops at 60, Red Lion Street when this exceptional box was made.
