Large Antique Seashell Encrusted Covered Jewelry / Trinket Box - Early 20th C Very decorative piece! Some good age to this box, applying shells to items like boxes etc. became popular during the Victorian period as the interest in the natural world (and the collecting of) boomed. This continued throughout the 20th century, which I believe is when this piece was created (early 20thC). A real piece of folk art - distinctly British too given the shells used - superb piece!
