	Spectacular 19th Century Carved Box ,Lavishly Carved of rich dense Ebony wood with a fully fitted interior lift out tray of Satinwood .The lids of all the compartments are of solid satinwood inlaid with rosewood, kingwood & silver inlay separates the ebony & ivory triangle patterns.

On the top of the box is a oval silver plaque that is inscribed “ Presented to Capt A Kyle by H.A.F. Col 9th Feb 1869”.What a box !!!!! It is a nice large size measuring 18 1/” long x 8 ½” high x 11 ¾”wide.A rare & one of a kind presentation Box .I also wonder if Capt A Kyle is of the same lineage as the founders of Kyle Texas ? Oh yes before I forget , the box is in excellent condition with a deep rich spectacular surface patina ,it has a very old repired crack in the top of the lid .The repair is professional & it cannot be seen unless you are really looking for it .BLUE DOLPHIN FINE ANTIQUES
