Unusual Antique English Burr Elm Miniature Stationery Cabinet C.1890

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

I have never had one of these slope-fronted stationery cabinet quite this small, perfect formed and rare being in Burr Elm, a gorgeous cognac colour with a decorative tulipwood inlay to the two front doors framed with boxwood and ebony stringing.

The box comes complete with a working key fitting into the shield shaped brass inlaid escutcheon. The right-hand side door opens first then the brass pin then removed to allow the left-hand door to be opened and the drawer opened. This pin keeps everything shut tight when locked.

The interior reveals the box casket is made from solid Oak underneath the Burr Elm veneer on the exterior. There are three compartments perfect for envelopes and perhaps personalised cards. The original inkwell remains in undamaged condition together with a lidded compartment for nibs, sealing wax and the like and an Elm sloped compartment for postage stamp. I have included the wooden handled dip pen too to finish the package.

A wonderful box in excellent condition, measuring 9" x 5" x 6 3/4" tall at rear.
