Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE GEORGIAN ERA:
Letterpress paper label inside the lid: early to mid-nineteenth-century typefaces and border.
Dovetailed corner joints: sound nineteenth-century box construction.
Slotted countersunk screws on the brass hinges: fastenings of the period.
Ring stains and surface scratches on the lid: long working life and handling.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

FAQs

Georgian boxes were crafted during the 18th and early 19th centuries, typically featuring clean lines, classical proportions, and joinery using native or imported hardwoods such as Cuban mahogany.

Craftsmen primarily utilised solid mahogany timber, pine or oak sub-frames, dovetail joints, and hand-cut brass ironmongery including locks and keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, natural patination around wear points, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and period-appropriate brass hardware.

Small wooden boxes can serve as decorative tabletop accents on an office desk, console table, or bookshelf to add warm timber tones and historical interest to a room.

Dust regularly with a dry soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
