Description

15% OFF PRICE STATED UNTIL 1ST JANUARY

Please see my stock page for one of the largest selection of jewellery boxes available on this website.

Mid-late Victorian inlaid burr walnut jewellery box in beautiful condition. Attractive grain. Though very subtle and easily missed the edges of the lid and the two front verticals comprise of edging that is made up of two separate pieces with the grain running diagonally to give the impression of a chevron style edging. There is just one very small (approximately 2.5cm) that has been restored across half the width of the edging at the top edge of the left upright but has been neatly done and it IS nit- picking. The lid closes perfectly square on the original hinges. The lock, although it looks to be original is I believe a replacement….again very neatly done but if you look very closely you will be able to see that the key hole is slightly off centre. That’s all in terms of the defects but it is only right and proper that defects are stated rather than rely on ‘let the buyer beware’. The box interior has been refurbished to a high standard. Silk ruched panel set within a silk covered frame to the lid interior. The tray comprises of 14 sections, 2 of which feature silk covered lids with ornate gilt ring pull knobs. Please note the nice finishing touch of the silk covered upper edges of the tray and all of the dividers to complement the lids and inner lid panel. Side metal handles to assist in removing the tray to access the storage area beneath that features a lightly covered silk panel to the base. The small storage areas of the tray and large open area of the storage area beneath ensures that this box is ideal for storing both small and large items of jewellery. Nice item.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Victorian burr walnut jewellery box is a 19th-century storage chest crafted from figured walnut veneer, manufactured primarily between 1837 and 1901 to store personal accessories and valuables.

These boxes were constructed using a solid timber core veneered with decorative woods such as burr walnut or rosewood, lined with velvet or silk, and accented with brass hardware and mother-of-pearl inlays.

Authentic pieces from circa 1870 feature hand-cut dovetail joints, natural wood grain variations, fitted interior trays, period brass hinges, and working lock mechanisms with mother-of-pearl or brass escutcheons.

Place the box open or closed on a bedroom dressing table, sideboard, or bookshelf to add warm timber tones and historical interest to modern surface displays.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting, apply high-grade beeswax polish annually, and clean the fabric interior with a soft, dry brush.
