FAQs

Tunbridge ware is a form of decorative inlaid woodwork, characterized by intricate mosaic borders and pictorial scenes created from small strips of naturally coloured woods. Originating in Kent, England, this craft reached peak popularity during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, particularly throughout the Victorian era.

Victorian craftsman utilized highly figured timber veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, and mahogany for the body of the box. Decorative elements often incorporated contrasting native wood tesserae for Tunbridge borders, along with mother of pearl, bone, or brass escutcheons and central cartouches.

Authentic pieces display subtle irregularities consistent with hand-assembly, natural age-related patina on the timber, and original steel or brass locks. Look for true wood tesserae in the mosaic patterns rather than printed designs, along with authentic mother of pearl or bone detailing.

An antique inlaid box works as a decorative accents on a sideboard, coffee table, or bookshelf. It offers practical concealed storage for small modern items such as keys, stationery, or jewellery while adding textural warmth to modern surfaces.

Keep wooden boxes away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and damp environments to prevent veneer warping or movement. Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber nourish and shine.
