19th Century Georgian Walnut and Mahogany Antique Paint Box.

19th century
Description

From a large home in Sussex, with many family antiques, a 19th century Georgian mahogany and walnut inlaid antique paint box/work box having a rising lid with fitted interior containing lidded velvet lined compartments with ivory knobs above a removable leather topped writing slope, containing a slide out pen tray and ink drawer including original cast brass topped inkwells. A fitted drawer is found next to writing slope.

The middle largest compartment also lifts out to reveal another similar compartment below.

Fine dove tail construction, original brass fittings, ivory escutcheon, and the original lock and key complete the chest.

A very unusual, beautifully crafted and complete antique Georgian chest, very suitable for jewellery, watches or any small items.

This would probably have been a bespoke chest, originally made to house paints, and would have been very expensive when made.

Size-16 inches wide by 11 inches deep by 7 inches high (closed).

In very good condition.

SOLD

Declaration

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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

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.
