Perhaps this beautiful leather box held personal items of a French aristocrat fleeing the mob during the revolution. Whatever the story. this box is just extraordinary. It is lined in red velvet, and the decorative stud work is amazing. The handles are long gone and the back is missing some leather. photos show loss on the bottom corners as well. Amazing craftsmanship.this box reeks of history, use and love. less
