Think "Aldo Tura," with this lovely hand-tooled, custom-made traveling/valet box, made for purchase by traveling tourist, with a detailed raised or vaulted quilted and stitched detailed top, with the variations of coat of arms, perhaps, travel destination country's, not ascertained, but definitely conglomerate of a coat of arms. The top is attached with the same leather utilized, while the inside has a center divided section. Marked on the underside as one can see with the provenance, felted base bottom protectors, were upon the leather box prior to us attaining this lovely cured leather keepsake, deductive reasoning to protect from any wear to the leather bottom, but we left the felt alone, for the next owner(s), should they wish to remove them. In great condition considering the era of manufacture for the period of travel. From an Upstate, NY. Estate. less
