| | Bernoulli Box (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | A box may be square, oblong, round oroval, or of an even less normal shape ; it isusually opened by raising, sliding or removing the lid, which may be fastened by a catch, hasp or lock. |
 | | Of the boxes which possess some attraction beyond their immediate purpose the feminine work-box is the commonest. |
 | | In the 18th century no lady was without her work-box, and,especially in the second half of that period, much taste and elaborate pains were expended upon the case, which was oftenexceedingly dainty and elegant. |
