Description

Really very beautiful geometric parquetry “Tonbridge” ware writing box or slope, circa 1880.

Beautifully inlaid and a wonderful colour, this box will look amazing wherever you put it.

The colour of the burr walnut and the contrasts of the parquetry are superb

The interior is a little worn, but does have the hidden three drawers which is nice, although is missing the original ink wells…not such an issue if the box is the real star of the show over the interior!
