Regency Mahogany Watercolour Box: I have been coveting this for months! I gave in this morning and gave it to myself as an early Christmas present... A beautifully made watercolour box with an ink inscription from a father to his son stating the box as a gift in November 1817. There is also a pencil drawing of a figure in front of a building dated 1848 as an inset and a beautifully written guide to use of colour and tone. A lot of the original paint is still there with little ceramic mixing bowls etc. it locks perfectly and there is a little brass rod that secures the drawer when the box is closed - the loveliest most charming thing I have ever bought!!
