There is also a replacement removable mirror flanked by red leather cardholders. There is a pen holder and a lift-out tray with storage space below. The 4 crystal scent bottles are modern replacements.Chubb working lock and key.
To the right of the lock is a brass pin which when removed releases the drawer below which is opened by the flush campaign brass handle.
This stunning box has been sympathetically refurbished retaining many original features and therefore its character.
