A well-made oak fitted instrument case dating from around 1900s, constructed with dovetailed joints and retaining its original brass fittings.
Made in solid oak, the case has softly rounded corners and is fitted with a shield-shaped brass cartouche to the lid, together with brass hinges and a lock to the front. The dovetailed construction is clearly visible at the corners and is a particularly nice detail, reflecting the quality of the original cabinetmaking.
The interior contains a removable fitted tray with a series of shaped compartments and slots, originally intended to hold a set of instruments or tools. The original contents are no longer present. The interior has been relined in bright blue fabric at a later date, while retaining the original fitted arrangement beneath.
