Regency Playing Card Box
This asymmetric, octagonal-shaped card box measures approximately 11 by 9 inches. It is made of rosewood with brass inlay and has no key. It has four compartments for playing cards and five for gaming counters. Four card-sized lifts, covered to match the box, have ribbons attached so that the cards can be lifted out; one lift retains both ribbons and the others retain one each. The interior is in very good condition, with its original covering clean and bright. The exterior is also very good, though a couple of short brass inlays are missing from the top and three from the sides, and there is a very small knock on the front edge. The cards shown are for illustration and are not included in the price, though period cards can be provided at additional cost.
