Antique carved oak and bronze writing box. Probably late Victorian or Edwardian in date.
The lid of the box has a carved wood surround with an inset bronze bas relief depicting a Capercaillie (and potential mate?) in a pine wood setting. The casting is very detailed and sharp indicating a quality piece.
The inside of the lid has a horizontal crack running centrally across the lid. Opposite is a writing desk pad/blotter.
The hinges appear to have been replaced at some point in the past.
Evidence of age and use as per images.
