Oval Leather Box
Lined with beige velvet, dark brown leather with silver medallion.
Format 12 x 16.5 cm (5” x 7” approx.), height 6 cm (2” approx.). The box comes from a small Italian leatherworking operation in Florence. They have specialised in the traditional Florentine type of leatherworking in which the leather is shaped from one piece into articles for daily use such as tubs and boxes. This form of manufacture exhibits a remarkable level of quality.
