A beautiful box in the Scottish Arts and Crafts movement style with celtic knotwork design. Dating circa 1900, the box has a lovely aged patina.
Celtic knotwork decoration was prominent at the end of 19th Century (c.1890) and early 20th Century from a Scottish school of Arts & Crafts designers and art-metalworkers with strong connections with the Glasgow School of Art and also from the island of Iona.
