This very fine Box is modelled in an unusual deep square form.  The cover is engraved with prick dot roundels around a vacant rectangular cartouche. The sides are engraved with horizontal prick dot and wriggle work bands and the base has a hinged opening decorated with a central flower head, surrounded by prick dot and wriggle work frames.  This piece is very well marked,  displays its original steel grater and has a serpentine shaped thumb piece.  Charles Rawlings was an exceptional box maker and this is seen with this nutmeg grater.
