FAQs

During the Victorian era, highly figured burr walnut harvested from knotty tree growths was favoured for decorative storage items such as jewellery boxes, writing slopes, and caskets. These pieces often featured brass or mother-of-pearl escutcheons and fitted interiors.

Construction typically comprised a solid timber carcass covered with thin veneers of figured timber like burr walnut, coromandel, or rosewood. Interior linings frequently incorporated silk, velvet, or paper alongside brass and mother-of-pearl inlays.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery such as fine hand-cut dovetails, original lock plates with keyhole escutcheons, and natural timber oxidisation. The veneer on genuine burr walnut displays dense, intricate swirls unique to natural knot growth.

A Victorian casket serves as a functional accent piece on an office desk, sideboard, or bedside table for storing personal accessories and stationery. The rich warm tones of the timber create texture when contrasted against contemporary minimalist surfaces.

Position timber boxes away from direct sunlight, radiators, and moisture to prevent veneer lifting or splitting. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically using a soft lint-free cloth to preserve the moisture and maintain the natural lustre of the wood.
