Description:
JB417:
A very large Victorian box veneered in burr walnut of exceptionally
dense figure displaying the ripples and swirls naturally occurring
in parts of the log obtained from carefully coppiced wood near the
stump of the tree. The box has a superior hinge which deals with the
weight of its size. When open it is supported by rounded links
within the hinges. The box has been fitted with two lift out trays.
Tiny chips and some dents to the veneer seen when the box is closely
examined. They disappear into the complex figure when overviewed. Bramah
working lock and key. Circa 1860.
