This is an authentic Queen Victoria British Government despatch box, used by senior officials and ministers for transporting confidential papers.
The box is finished in black leather, featuring a gold-embossed Royal Cypher and Crown on the lid indicating its official heritage. The construction is solid and weighty, with a classic brass handle and secure clasp.
This box was later retrofitted into a jewelry box in the late 1880’s or 90’s. It includes its original Victorian cushions and two layers of jewel shelves.
