Beautiful late Victorian jewellery box, circa 1880/90. Warm Walnut veneer with beautiful figuration. Fully refurbished interior with new satin linings and pretty heart print paper. Beautiful Berlin Strapwork inlay. Working lock and key.
This is a beautiful late Victorian jewellery box, dating to 1880/1890. It has a new fully refurbished interior and its original working lock.
The Exterior
This box has a wonderful Walnut veneer which has a rich warm colour and beautiful figuration.
There are beautiful broad bands of 'Berlin Strapwork' inlay to both the lid and front of the box. The inlay consists of several varieties of colourful exotic fruitwoods.
There is a superb inlaid hexagonal cartouche on the lid and a matching inlaid escutcheon to the keyhole. The centres of these are shimmery Satinwood and their frames consist of the same varieties of woods as those in the Berlin Strapwork bands.
All of the inlay is of a very high quality and is set flush into the Walnut veneer.
The box is complete with its original stop hinges which hold the lid upright. It is also complete with its original working lock. A period Victorian replacement key has been fitted to lock.
The bottom of the box has a new felt covering which will protect the surfaces of furniture.
The Interior
The entire interior has been newly refurbished by our very skilled box restorer.
There is a new removable storage tray at the top which has been beautifully French polished and stained. This has four compartments of various shapes and sizes. The rear compartments are an ideal size for small pieces of jewellery such as rings, brooches, earrings and pendants. The front compartment is the ideal shape and size for laying out long chains and necklaces.
Beneath the tray there is a single large compartment that is deep and spacious. This will hold a vast amount of jewellery, including large pieces such as broad bangles, bracelets, watches and chunky beads.
The compartments of the tray have new raspberry red satin panels and linings. The panels to the bases are padded, providing cushioned protection for jewellery.
The base of the larger lower compartment also has a padded satin panel that matches those in the tray. The walls of this compartment, plus those inside the lid, have new high quality patterned paper linings. Those to the lid have a beautiful silk cord trim that complements the satin. The paper is pink and has a very pretty multi heart/crosshatch print.
The bottom of the storage tray has a new felt covering which matches that on the bottom of the box. The tray has black silk ribbon pull tabs which enable it to be lifted out with ease.
