19th Century Brass Bound Rosewood Box
|
Here is a wonderful 19th century brass bound rosewood box. The box is in absolutely lovely condition –
it is somewhat elegant yet somewhat primitive. It has an inlay of lighter wood – which I assume is birch –
along with the same type of inlay around the keyhole escutcheon. The box has a fitted interior and I
believe at one point it was most likely a men’s toiletry box. There was also a leather type of flap on the
inside of the lid that is missing now - this generally would have been a space for ...

Lap desk w paper label. Here is a super super nice lap/travel desk. With one of the most complicated
interiors I have ever encountered. In the interior of the box there are two or three different shades of
mahogany all complimenting each other with really nice grain. It is slightly primitive and it dates from the
early 19th century. It has a whale bone key escutcheon. It has simple line inlay on all edges. When you
open the box it has a drop down lid compartment as well as a lift up lid ...

Antique Birds Eye Maple Wood Tea Caddy Box

Spectacular early 19th century dome top tea caddy. It is in a small diminutive size complete with two
interior lidded compartments and a little tiny key – which as you may know is very rare to still have! The

be untouched and original. The hinges are in fine working condition and the lids inside have an ebony
knob on the mahogany lid. It measures 5 1/8 inches at highest x 7 inches wide x 4 3/8 ...

fabric. The painting is really well defined & the colors are true & elaborate, the condition is very good as
well, the spotting that you see is a bit of actual grime & the camera did a ...

Bronze Jewelry Box Ivory Paintings
|
This is one of the most incredible - to die for - jewelry caskets I have ever seen. The entire box is gilt
bronze; the overall theme is in a basket weave and somewhat high relief. On all the edges all around
the box it is accented with a very intricate applied grape vine with grape clusters. The detail is
spectacular and the surface patina of the box is just the way it should be for this time period. The box is
inset with hand painted ivory plaques and as I hope you can see has work that is ...

Chinese Cinnabar Box Carved
|
Here is a very unique and hard to find item these days – it is a carved cinnabar lacquered box. The
carving is deep and crisp – you can basically see all the facial features on the people, leaves on the
tress – it is very dimensional. It has a very interesting diamond shape design all the way around on the
outside of the box. The inside is still in the black lacquer color and underneath in hand script with red
paint it is marked China. This box dates from approximately the 1880’s into the very ...
