WRITING BOXES

 
 
An exceptional example of a writing box of the second quarter of the 19th century. The main panel is in a highly figured burr wood, and surrounded in a raised frame edged in gadrooning and inlaid with white metal and mother of pearl.
The inside of this box is also exceptional in being entirely in satinwood.
