Cartridge Boxes
(All Cartridge Boxes come complete with tins.)
All the boxes I make are copied from original examples, and are totally hand sewn. I am happy to offer a wide variety of boxes to you. Unlike my competitors, I can offer you the correct finial for your box (Brass round or button type finial, Lead round or acorn finial, Iron round, Wood, or CS 3 piece “egg” shaped finial.). All my finishes are correct. I can offer you Iron dyed, Oil Dyed, Russet, Black or White Enameled (hand mixed by myself). All boxes come with tins.
