A Very Unusual Early 19th Century Carved Sliding Box With A Hole Of Some Sort To The Bottom Which Would Have Originally Held Something. At First I Thought It Was A Form Of Knitting Sheath… But There’s No Clip For The Belt… So, I Believe It To Be A Form Of Early Pen Or Pencil Box… Possibly Swedish In Origin.
It’s Engraved With The Initials ‘H.N.S’ And Is Dated 1813.
A Fine Collector’s Piece!
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound, functions well, with good age related patina.
Measures 20cm x 4cm x 3.5cm
