DESCRIPTION: ANTIQUE BOX.

A GORGEOUS ROSEWOOD VENEERED EARLY VICTORIAN BOX, ORIGINALLY A SEWING OR VANITY BOX. IT HAS A QUALITY INLAY OF MOTHER OF PEARL ON THE LID (SOME SLIGHT LOSSES) IN A FLORAL DESIGN AND A BONE ESCUTCHEON TO THE FRONT.

INTERNALLY I HAVE ADDED A BLUE FABRIC PANEL TO THE LID AND BASE JUST TO TIDY IT UP.

THERE IS ALSO A SIMPLE WOODEN LIFT OUT TRAY (LATER REPLACEMENT).

THE LOCK AND KEY ARE A REPLACEMENT AND WORKING.

PLEASE NOTE; THE KEYS ARE HANDMADE AND SPECIFIC TO THE LOCK SO REPLACEMENTS ARE HARD TO FIND, ALSO THE LOCKS ARE VERY OLD AND CAN FAIL, SO I’D ADVISE JUST USING THE KEYS MOSTLY AS DECORATION AND LOCKING THE BOX AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.

CONDITION: GOOD WITH JUST A FEW VERY MINOR MARKS COMMENSURATE WITH AGE AND USE (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AS THESE FORM PART OF THE DESCRIPTION).

AGE/CULTURE:1830-1850/BRITISH.

SIZE: LENGTH 30.5CM, WIDTH 23CM, HEIGHT 13CM.

IT HAS BEEN GIVEN A VERY LIGHT CLEAN AND A BEESWAX POLISH.

UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO EXCESS PAPERWORK AND CONDITIONS I NO LONGER SELL TO COUNTRIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION. 

 CONDITION: GOOD WITH JUST A FEW VERY MINOR MARKS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES COMMENSURATE WITH AGE AND USE.

PLEASE NOTE THE MAJORITY OF MY ITEMS ARE OVER 100 YEARS OLD AND WILL SHOW WEAR AND TEAR AND AS SUCH NOT EVERY IMPERFECTION CAN BE DESCRIBED, SO PLEASE EXAMINE PHOTOS CAREFULLY.
