Description
19th century very unusual and stylish walnut workbox crossbanded with ebony line inlaid banding on all sides. The inlay is white metal (likely silver). The corners are chamfered, and there is a brass vacant cartouche surrounded by the same inlaid ebony to the centre of the rising lid, as well as a similar one around the lock.The interior is fitted with a very unusual divided tray with many compartments that would be excellent for jewellery or sewing accoutrements, and may originally have been used as a paint box for the budding Victorian artist.
The tray lifts to reveal additional storage below. The underside is covered with leather to protect the table surface.
Size-16 inches long by 10.5 inches wide by 6 inches high.
A really nice well crafted and very unusual walnut box that would accent any desk or table beautifully, and is perfect for the collector as well.
