Gold boxes were also available at Lee Ching as bespoke-made
pieces. This repoussé bamboo decorated cheroot box dates to
circa 1860 and was obviously made for a discerning gentleman

many parcel gilded items.
This circa 1840 traditional style tankard has been
parcel gilded on the exterior and interior.
