An exceptional display case made from high-quality materials.
The box is crafted from burl walnut wood and is richly inlaid. The faceted edge border is inlaid with mother-of-pearl and bone. In the center of the box, a kind of floral crest is inlaid with yellow copper, mother-of-pearl, and bone.
The key is present and the locking mechanism works.
The interior is lined with purple velvet (faded) and two glass pots (ink).

For a 150-year-old box, it is actually in very good condition. A copper tube is missing and the plating shows light scratches.
