This Victorian coromandel jewellery box dates from 1880 in the gentleman's library style. The dark brown timber surfaces show a prominent grain and are finished with polished brass edging, delicate stringing, recessed campaign carrying handles on the sides, and circular keyhole escutcheons on the front drawer and upper section. Measuring 18 cm high, 32 cm wide, and 23 cm deep, the rectangular chest stands compactly. It suits placement on a bedside table, dressing table, or desk to store watches, trinkets, and letters. Inside, the fitted layout includes silver-topped bottles, a lift-out tray over a storage well, and a lower base drawer. A velvet-covered fall-front panel on the underside of the lid opens to reveal a tartan-lined stationery compartment. The exterior displays marks and scuffs commensurate with age while remaining in good condition for practical daily use.

FAQs

A Victorian coromandel dressing box is a specialized wooden container crafted during the nineteenth century to hold cosmetics, grooming tools, and jewellery. Coromandel, a dense exotic hardwood with contrasting dark and light grain patterns, was frequently used for high-end cabinetry and small woodenware.

These boxes were constructed from exotic hardwoods such as coromandel, rosewood, walnut, or mahogany. Exterior surfaces were often reinforced with brass bindings, brass stringing, and flush-mounted handles, while interiors featured velvet, silk, or leather linings alongside glass or silver containers.

Authentic period boxes display characteristic dark striped grain patterns unique to coromandel wood, often paired with flush brass fittings, period locks, and hand-cut dovetail joinery inside the construction.

An antique dressing box functions as a functional tabletop accent when placed on a sideboard, dressing table, or bedside nightstand. It provides discreet storage for small everyday items while adding historical wood textures to modern rooms.

Dust the wood surface with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically to retain the timbers moisture and sheen. Keep the box away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, cracking, or veneer lift.
