Victorian Hand Painted Wooden Jewellery Box Georgian depicting moonlit skaters and figuresA charming Victorian hand painted wooden jewellery box. The green box is naively yet delicately hand painted with floral and gilt decoration throughout. A drawer has been fashioned within the lid recess which is an unusual feature. There is wear throughout commensurate with age. A highly attractive and decorative piece.
