This photo does not do this box this
box justice. This box is perfectly
made and much expertise was used in its construction. It sports
dovetail joints, two different Marquetry pieces, two ornate, perfectly
fitted
hinges and the selection of Veneers is excellent. The finish on the box
is remarkable, nicely sanded and varnished. Again Bob many thanks. |
