Windsor & Newton of London Watercolour Paint Box
c.1870-1880
The box is made from Mahogany. According to the Winsor Newton archives the manufacture date was in the 1870’s/ 80’s because the label reads: By appointment to Her Majesty and H.R.H The Prince and Princess of Wales. The wedding of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales and Princess Alexandra of Denmark took place on 10 March 1863.
The tray has 12 slots for their fine full pan size watercolour paint blocks which appear to be original.
