Description
From a large home in Sussex, with many family antiques, a 19th century Georgian mahogany and walnut inlaid antique paint box/work box having a rising lid with fitted interior containing lidded velvet lined compartments with ivory knobs above a removable leather topped writing slope, containing a slide out pen tray and ink drawer including original cast brass topped inkwells. A fitted drawer is found next to writing slope.The middle largest compartment also lifts out to reveal another similar compartment below.
Fine dove tail construction, original brass fittings, ivory escutcheon, and the original lock and key complete the chest.
A very unusual, beautifully crafted and complete antique Georgian chest, very suitable for jewellery, watches or any small items.
This would probably have been a bespoke chest, originally made to house paints, and would have been very expensive when made.
Size-16 inches wide by 11 inches deep by 7 inches high (closed).
In very good condition.
