Coromandel, Brass & Jasperware Box by Cormack Brothers, C.1880

19th century
Description

A superb coromandel, brass and jasperware stationary box by Cormack Brothers of 37 Ludgate Hill, London, c.1880. Working lock and key.

The domed lid is inset with a jasperware plaque and brass rope twist mounts, opening to reveal a blue silk lined interior and the 'Cormack Brothers' brass plaque.

The Cormack Brothers were an esteemed maker and retailer active c.1804-1880s, specialising in luxury boxes and writing slopes. Their pieces typically featured fine woods and brass mounts, as found in this example.

The coromandel is a little matte and there is a small area of hairline cracking to the wood at the top left of the lid (please see photgraphs). The key and lock works perfectly, all brass mounts remain firmly affixed, the jasperware plaque is in an excellent condition, as is the silk interior. A really lovely example of Cormack Brothers' craftsmanship.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Victorian coromandel decorative boxes are distinguished by their rich, dark variegated timber harvested from Southeast Asian calamander trees. They frequently feature high-grade brass mountings, intricate strapwork, and decorative inserts such as jasperware or enamel plaques.

Luxury boxes from this period were crafted using exotic veneers like coromandel, ebony, and rosewood. Decorative accents commonly incorporated gilt-brass, pierced metalwork, mother-of-pearl, and jasperware cameos, lined internally with silk or velvet.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy, dense wood with distinctive dark brown and black contrasting grain lines. Look for hand-engraved brass hardware, period-correct lock mechanisms, precise dovetail or mitred joinery, and natural age-related patina on metal components.

An antique wooden casket can be styled as a functional focal point on an executive office desk, console table, or library bookshelf. It serves as decorative storage for small personal items while adding historical texture to modern schemes.

Keep the wood nourished by applying high-grade beeswax sparingly along the grain, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners. Brass fittings should be dusted with a soft dry cloth to preserve natural patination, and the item should be kept away from direct heat sources.
