London Circa 1830.


The lid with central oculus reveals a pagoda like upright surrounded by 5 un-
screwable pierced thread dispensers. Attributable to The Holtzapffel family - a
dynasty of ivory turners working in Covent Garden from 1794 until the early 20th
century. They specialised in highly technical fine turning. This piece ranks amongst
the finest and most complicated produced.
