Item Details
Here is an impressively inlaid vanity box or jewelry box with a sliding shelf for rings, lined with green cloth and featuring a mirror in the lid. It is eight inches by seven and one-quarter inches by four inches. The geometric inlay of multicolored veneers is very compelling, because of its complexity as well as its extent. I would date it c1890 but that’s just a guess. Original condition, uncleaned, found in Pennsylvania. The interior might have been reworked to add the cloth lining, since it shows no signs of wear or use, and I’ve seen other boxes like this made for other purposes. Condition is excellent, with some splits between the veneer pieces but nothing major missing. Quite usable—but I don’t recommend locking it because I locked it once and it was very hard to get it unlocked using the key. I had to jiggle and twist and finagle it just right to get the lock open. So, I’ve unscrewed the latch in the lid and left it and the screws in the ring drawer. You can replace it if you wish, but remember not to lock the box, even though you’ll have the key!

Return Policy
You may initiate a return of this item within 3 days of delivery.Note: EU/UK buyers are entitled to a return period of 14 days, regardless of the seller's policy.
Shipping, Handling, Insurance Policy
We ship and track all items via the US Postal Service unless we agree on a different method. Insurance coverage is required. Ruby Lane's system offers a maximum of $1,000 insurance coverage, so we do not use it. We use USPS, which has coverage up to $5000. For US purchases, shipping/insurance is added automatically to the invoice before it is sent to you. For foreign purchases, shipping/insurance is calculated after the sale.To insure large items like tea sets, several packages may be needed, because USPS limits its insurance coverage to $5,000 per package. For example, to get full coverage on a $10,000 tea set, we would send it in two boxes. We will work to arrange shipping details to the buyer's satisfaction.
