A early 20th century fitted oak presentation case by Mappin & Webb Ltd., dating from around 1900–1910.
Made from oak, the case has a simple rectangular design with a brass carrying handle to the top and a single hinged door to the front. The interior is lined in a deep blue velvet and fitted with a series of shaped compartments designed to hold its original contents securely.
The exact contents are now missing, although the tall narrow proportions and shaped velvet fittings suggest the case may originally have been made to hold a bottle, decanter or similar presentation piece.
The interior retains its original Mappin & Webb Ltd. maker’s plaque, while the blue velvet lining shows general wear consistent with age and use. The oak exterior has developed a warm colour with attractive grain and a good surface throughout.
H: 41 W: 23.5 D: 18.5 cm
