A charming Georgian wooden Tunbridge dome-topped desk or table box topped with a scene of the vibrant seaside town of Brighton.

In the late eighteenth century wealthy people began to visit Brighton. They believed that bathing in seawater would cure their illnesses. At first only a small number came but in 1783 the Prince of Wales and his friends visited Brighton. Many rich people followed and the town boomed. Items such as this box would have been sold as a souvenir of it's day.

The interior of the box has been relined with a hand-marbelled paper to create a fresh and clean finish ready for use the box coming complete with a working key.

Excellent antique condition, measuring 8" x 5" x 3 1/2".
