LOT SOLD

Opening Bid: 150 ZAR

CLOSING BID

​Item Details

​Design: It features a cantilever (self-lifting) tray lined with green felt. This mechanism was popular for jewelry and sewing kits because it reveals the lower compartment automatically when the lid is opened.

​Materials: Likely made of a stained hardwood (such as Sapele or a light Mahogany) with a vanished finish.

​Hardware: It has ornate brass-plated scroll corner mounts and a decorative keyhole escutcheon. The "cabriole" style legs give it a miniature furniture aesthetic, typical of the mid-century "Hollywood Regency" or "Victorian Revival" trends.

​Condition Notes: There is visible wear to the wood finish on the lid and some scuffing on the interior felt. The brass mounts show some patination/tarnishing.

Estimated Value R350-R650
