Magnificent & Rare Top Notch Military Style Brass Bound Amboyna Jewelry / Desk Box C.1830

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

Amboyna is the most sought-after burl type wood in the world, making it the most expensive in the world too. Today it is so rare, it is hard to come by.

This fabulous large Jewellery or desk box is superb quality, made from this exotic and luxurious hardwood, figured with numerous, captivating swirls in a rich toffee colour.

The box is military or campaign in style with brass strapping that wraps right around the sides to the back and front, most unusual. The top is inlaid with a thick brass stringing.

The interior is just beautiful with all edges bound in brass, the box also comes complete with it's original top quality Bramah lock and key. The inside of the lid retains it's original deep Burgundy coloured tufted velvet, typical of the William IV period, around 1830. The base and bee professionally and sympathetically re-lined in a hand-marbled paper, created a good clean finish, ready for use.

One of the very best I have had of it's kind, in excellent condition. 12 1/4" x 9 1/2" x 5" high.
