A mahogany Box Cabinet with six drawers to the interior.

The drawers are enclosed by a door to the front, made with wide cleats and retaining its key. They are all of equal size and have knob handles. What stands out about them is that they are each painted with seemingly random letters which no doubt made perfect sense to the user. Three are marked 'B' with the others 'C, W' and 'L'.

The box has skeletal brass campaign handles to the sides and a number of dark lines suggesting it has been slid in and out of a packing case. This is an interesting box, which has been well made.
Circa 1840.
