Description
Please see my stock page for the largest selection of jewellery boxes available on this website. Mid Victorian inlaid burr walnut jewellery box in very fine condition. Unspoilt mellow patina. Highly attractive grain. Inlaid Mother of Pear escutcheon and cartouche set within a Mother of Pearl ‘frame’. No missing or replaced veneer and veneer. The lid closes perfectly square. Original brass stop hinges. Original lock, key for decorative purposes only. The use of burr veneer generally suggest a quality item, the quality of the box interior certainly supports that claim in this instance. Please note the panel to the lid interior with the gilt features, oval folded silk centre panel with centre incised Mother of Pearl centre feature. The panel is in exceptional condition with the original pull tab fully intact and the original swing clasp. Upon releasing the clasp the panel folds forward to enable access to a ‘love letter’ storage envelope. Both side folds are intact though there is wear and tear to the lining of the lid underside. Please also note the material trim to all of the upper edges of the tray and dividers. Original side metal hoop handles. All dividers, lids etc are original. Open storage space beneath the tray with all of the original lining. The lining to the base section and storage areas within the tray do show signs of use but are in Far better condition than the norm. You only need to look at similar Victorian boxes to appreciate how many have survived in such fine condition. The box was originally made to serve as a work/sewing box but nowadays the vast majority are put to good modern day use as jewellery boxes. The small sections within the tray being ideal for those small items of jewellery with larger pieces stored in the open area beneath the tray. Compare the quality and appearance of this item to most modern produced jewellery boxes.
