OR as a single decanter or bottle wine cellarette of your choice, Port, Whisky, Single Malt, which could be safely kept under lock and key if required. I favour this option for this beautiful shaped box unless of course you have one of the very rare Dolland, London, cuff microscopes that needs original housing.
