Antique English Boulle Pen Tray by Vickery, London C.1860

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A fine quality Victorian Boulle (Tortoise Shell Intricately inlaid with cut brass, then brightly polished) pen tray, purchased as part of an entire desk set. I had to purchase each piece individually so am selling as individual items.

The tortoiseshell was attached to the hardwood frame with coloured matter below (in this case red) to give this highly sought after reddish-orange colouring to these works of art. This process first developed by the French cabinetmaker, André-Charles Boulle (11 November 1642 – 28 February 1732, highly popular in nineteenth century Britain.

This pen tray is as usable today as 150 years ago.

Signed by the top-flight retailer, "J.C. Vickery,Regent St. W1" (London). John Collard Vickery was honored with Royal Warrants of HM the King, HM the Queen, HM Queen Alexandra, TRH the Prince and Princess of Wales, HM the King of Portugal, HM the King of Spain, TM the King and Queen of Denmark, HM the Queen of Norway, HM the King of Sweden and the Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig Holstein.

Superb condition, measuring 10" x 3 1/4" (a tiny ding to the brass, mentioned and shown purely for accuracy).
