A William and Mary Lace Box.

17th century
For Sale by Youngs Antiques
Description

A william and mary period lace box 1689 -1702. The box has an olivewood oyster veneered top with concentric boxwood banding, and figured walnut veneered sides.

There would have originally been a mirror fitted beneath the lid, but this has been replaced at some stage with a classical 19th century ink drawing/ engraving , which looks well suited to the box.

The box has some cracking to the veneers, some old restorations, commensurate with age, but its in good condition for its age.

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.

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

A William and Mary lace box is a shallow, rectangular wooden casket originating from the late seventeenth century, designed specifically to hold fine lace, linens, or personal valuables.

These boxes were predominantly constructed from walnut, often featuring oyster veneers cut from small branches, framed with light wood stringing such as sycamore or boxwood.

Authentic pieces feature geometric end-grain timber slices known as oyster cuts, hand-cut dovetail jointing, iron or brass lock plates, and irregular hand-sawn board thickness on the interior.

An antique lace box functions well as a decorative focal point placed on a sideboard, coffee table, or desk, adding historical texture to modern rooms.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying beeswax sparingly to preserve the original patina.
