The dome shaped hinged lid enclosing a complete original fitted interior, including a hand cut crystal mixing bowl, possibly its original, and two hinged lid lift-out canisters also with decorative brass inlay, raised on original plain bun feet. First quarter of Nineteenth Century.
Firmly attributed to Cabinetmakers Gillows of Lancaster England.
Condition: Superb condition with no losses to brass stringing, the mixing bowl is perfect with no clouding to glass inside. Lock and key are present and working, in our opinion the lower molding at back is missing, see image.
