Victorian Travelling Dressing Case. Great Britain, mid-nineteenth century. Macassar ebony case with hinged cover bearing a brass lined mother-of-pearl cartouche. Green lined interior fitted with cut-glass bottles and jars on trays, with silver or silver-plated mounts, opening to reveal a lower tier. Silver-topped jars and bottles bear no hallmarks. With two secret compartments, one velvet-lined drawer at bottom, another inside the lid, which can be removed to reveal a hiding place lined with tooled leather. Two jars damaged. 6 ? x 12 x 9?. With key. Very good.
