Fitted and Lined Rosewood Jewellery Box.

19th century
Description

A very lovely and early rosewood jewellery box with brass cross banding, a vacant cartouche and a working key.

The fitted and lined tray inside has separate compartments for jewellery and rings.

The tray may be removed to reveal the lined space below which would accommodate larger pieces of jewellery.

The green velvet lining is original and in good condition commensurate with age.

I resisted re-lining the box and so gently cleaned the original material.

Circa 1800-1820.

We can deliver free of charge in UK and can calculate the cost of international delivery.

Payment by bank transfer, PayPal or card via telephone.

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.

During the Regency and Victorian eras, brass-bound rosewood boxes were crafted as durable storage containers for jewellery, correspondence, and vanity items. Their reinforced brass edging was originally derived from military campaign furniture designed to withstand transit while maintaining a refined presentation.

High-end antique dressing boxes were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, combined with brass corner caps, stringing, and escutcheons. The interiors were lined with velvet, silk, or leather, and frequently contained fitted wooden compartments or glass bottles.

Authentic pieces exhibit rich grain patterns with dark brown and reddish streaks characteristic of Dalbergia woods. Look for hand-cut dovetail joints, flush-fitting cast brass hardware, period key locks, and age-appropriate wear or mild oxidisation on brass elements.

An antique rosewood box serves as an elegant accent when positioned on a hallway console, office desk, or dressing room sideboard. It functions both as decorative object and practical storage for small personal items, desk stationery, or jewellery.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or cracking. Clean the timber with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly. Avoid abrasive metal cleaners on brass components to preserve historical patina.
