Vintage Quilled Lady’s Jewellery Box
In March, 2009, my youngest daughter married a charming Scotsman. Unfortunately, only his parents and a few friends were able to come to the United States for the wedding, so this year, Jen and John took a vacation to Scotland so she could meet the rest of his family and tour the wonderful sites of his homeland.
While there they visited Edinburgh Castle, which served as a prisoner of war camp during the Napoleonic Wars. John, who is quite a history buff, believes that the Frenchman who created this intricate quill work was most likely a sailor in Napoleon’s navy.
