A fabulous and rare box, of course what makes it so unique is the secret drawer, most unusual particularly in such an early example. Made from Mahogany it is mounted with brass fittings, a complimentary brass escutcheon and a cast brass carrying handle.

The fabulous piece of flamed Mahogany to the lid is also inlaid with a fine Ebony and Boxwood stringing, very Sheraton in style.

The box opens (complete with a working key) to reveal a fully lined interior in black velvet, professionally re-lined and perfect for either a lady or gentleman. There is a brass pin which is used to open the secret drawer it is the right-hand screw to the left-hand hinge which is the key to it's opening using the key the screw is an actual button which releases the sprung drawer which pops out. The drawer then clicks back into place.

Dating to c.1790, the box remains in superb condition. 11" x 9" x 3 1/2".
