A fine late 17th-century olive oyster ''Lace Box'' of small proportions, circa 1680-1690, England.
 
The cross-grain moulded and holly banded top is finely veneered in hand-cut veneers of olive cut horizontally, known as ''olive oyster veneering''. Inset with holly stringing consisting of a roundel to the centre a quartered. Opening on the original slot hinges, the cleated top appears to retain the original red japanned interior as does the base.

Wonderful colour and well patinated original surfaces of very good colour.
