This is a beautiful antique Tunbridge Ware box dated to 1878 Malta and evidently purchased as part of a Grand Tour. It is beautifully crafted with floral mosaic to the top and geometric borders on the top and sides as shown. It opens nicely and to the base is a lovely dedication of From Tommy to His Father Malta 1878 and with charming little inked kisses as a border. To the inside it is also dated and with Malta.
It measures 2.4 inches across, 0.6 inches high and 1.25 inches wide. It is in lovely antique condition and a fine antique with lovely provenance.
As an antique item it will show signs of wear and patina.
Please look at the photos carefully and please do contact me with any queries, I am happy to help.
