Antique Victorian Papier-Mâché Jewelry Box, Mother of Pearl Inlays, Lock and Key Young girl each adorned with fluted bandsA splendid early to mid Victorian English Papier mch box in surprisingly fine condition, this one would have been a handkerchief box from the size. The outer measurement is 7. 75" square, all those serpentine scalloped edges intact and not broken away. The box is about 3 8" thick (sidewalls) and interior compartment, so nicely preserved with its original silk lining, is 5 5 8" square. So pretty, and perfect now for jewelry or display. A monogram at
