Boxes for Sale

I've always got boxes, musical or otherwise, for sale.
Please visit the Stock Page for details of what is currently available in an unrestored state.
Note: Items on the stock page are all in an unrestored state and can therefore be bought in that state or can be restored to whatever level you choose. I can add a musical movement, line the box and repolish it to your specification. The choice is wide.

The boxes below have all been restored and are ready to pack.
