A beautiful example of a late 19th early 20th century puzzle box from Sorrento Italy, made from solid olive wood.  This is a lovely early piece which is handmade and not to be confused with later modern boxes.  The wood and quality of these boxes varies widely, this one is exceptional with a great patina and in wonderful condition.
This ingenious box is in good condition with a key. The figurative group on the top is a mixture of inlaid woods including beautiful green Harewood making up the figures onto solid olive wood.

  3. Tip the key out of the base.
  4. Slide the main body of the box forward over the base book.
  5. Lower the central spine to reveal the keyhole.
  6. Unlock the box with the key. (The lock is a double throw lock and must the turned anti-clockwise twice.)
