Bottle with cover 1874 - 1875

This 19th-century tortoiseshell and brass "Bottle with cover" is an excellent example of a travelling set, likely for toiletries or medication. The box features intricate marquetry and a velvet-lined interior, showcasing the craftsmanship of F.P., a London-based artist active in the late 19th century. The piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, highlights the artistry and functionality of Victorian-era travel accessories.
