A small, rosewood veneered box with the rare view of Romanoff House School to the lid. Some 130mm wide this sizeable gauge work view dominates the pin-hinged lid.
Circa 1845
Romanoff House School was established by Thomas Allfree in London Road, Tunbridge Wells in the 1830's and was financed by a lifetime pension that Allfree received from the Romanoff family, for whom he had been a private tutor in Russia.
Romanoff School eventually became Rose Hill School in different premises and the building featured on the box became residential and known as Vale Towers.
