B. Barnett Ltd operated from Burlington Arcade, one of London's most prestigious shopping areas, which opened in 1819. The arcade has long been associated with luxury goods, particularly jewellery, watches, and other fine items.
The company was known for high-quality craftsmanship, focusing on fine jewellery, timepieces, and silver items. Being situated in Burlington Arcade, they catered to wealthy and discerning clientele, both local and international.
The presence of the Burlington Arcade address suggests this box dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century when Burlington Arcade was at its peak as a centre for luxury shopping.
