Apprx 3 1/4" by 2 1/4" by 1 3/8" high. Lovely design, lined in red velvet, nice hinge and front clasp, late 1800s to early 1900s, Victorian or Edwardian era.
Top of the little box has a scene of the Ripon Ministry.
Box in vry good condition, despite the fact that a small part of the clasp at the top is unnoticeably missing; the part that clasps and holds it shut is perfect.
Very good piece, excellent vintage condition.
