Fine 18th century George 3rd mahogany shaped knife box in complete and original condition. Nice bold shape with boxwood and ebony line stringing to all corners. Silver handle and escution to the front with original Georgian lock and key which is still working. The inside is all original. One nice feature I noticed is the divisions inside are leather covered on both sides to protect the silver.
The knife box is a lovely colour with great patination and a waxed finish.
