Tortoiseshell box with brass mounts

This box in tortoiseshell is very rare for it is in excellent condition. The box and lid are decorated with floral mounts in gilded silver. It still has its original arrangement in the interior containing three gilded boxes of the same shape, and another small box with a spoon.
