A very attractive George III hanging candle box with an inlaid oval batwing patera to the raised and fielded panelled sliding cover, c1800.
The box hangs from a shaped crest and there is an aperture in the top - I am not sure if the aperture is original to the piece or is a later addition. It could have been made like that to make refilling the candles easier, or it may have been repurposed as a letter box(for example) at a later time.
The box has some lovely details, including the satinwood stringing aound the front edge of the box (where the sliding cover slots in) and matching stringing around the aperture, and has good colour and patina.
Condition: The box has a few minor splits in the structure, mainly to the base, but is strong and structurally sound. There is a repaired split or break to the cover which runs the full length of it, but again this is strong and not causing any problems.
