Victorian Burr Walnut Glove Box

A very fine Victorian Burr Walnut Glove Box with brass banding and cabachon decoration surrounding a central ceramic plaque, probably the three Graces in white on a blue background reminiscent of jasper ware. The wood has a lovely patina in a deep rich brown and that delightful burr patination. Inside she retains her original lining of royal blue. This is a striking antique box which is perfect for the purpose for which it was conceived or used today as a pretty jewellery box or just to make a marvellous addition to your collection.

Condition: good antique condition, light age related marks to the back and sides, given the patina these are certainly not new and are part of her long history. To the right of the lid there are old scratch marks, we don't believe this affects the aged beauty of the box as photographed. The plaque is free of chips or damage and the brass banding and decoration is all in order. Offered in its original antique condition we have chosen not to polish this up, leaving that for you to decide! She opens and shuts perfectly, hinges both correct. As you can see from the photos there is minor age related damage to the interior, again we have chosen to offer her in original antique condition rather than replace the lining. As iOS usually the case with boxes of this age the key is not present.
