Description from the seller
Antique Edwardian Mahogany & Boxwood Inlay Keepsake Box.
Origin: United Kingdom
Period: Circa 1900
Materials: Mahogany, Boxwood, Brass.
A handsome and well-preserved British-made keepsake or stationery box, crafted from richly figured mahogany. The lid features a central diamond-shaped boxwood inlay, a motif mirrored on the front face surrounding the keyhole.
The interior reveals a clean, natural wood lining, suggesting it may have originally served as a glove box, document box, or a large tea caddy. The front is fitted with a sturdy brass plate stamped "BRITISH MADE," indicative of the high-quality domestic craftsmanship of the late 19th to early 20th century.
Condition Report
Overall: In very good antique condition with a warm, aged patina.
Woodwork: Minor surface wear and faint age-related crazing to the finish on the lid, consistent with a century of use.
Hardware: Original brass hinges are secure. The lock is present (no key included).
Additions: Modern protective felt pads have been added to the base to prevent scratching on furniture.
Length: 20.5 cm
Width: 15.5 cm
Height: 12 cm
This box is a testament to understated British elegance. Its clean lines and geometric inlays make it a versatile piece that fits as comfortably in a modern interior as it does in a traditional study. A perfect 'blank canvas' for a collector or as a sophisticated desk organizer.
Shipping with track and trace.Of course very carefully and safe packaged.Item can be picked up in Ekeren (Antwerpen,Belgium).
