Our antique penwork box exemplifies the elegance of Georgian craftsmanship, featuring intricate ink-drawn designs inspired by Greek and Roman classicism. Elaborately decorated on all sides with a striking contrast between light and dark tones, achieved through fine penwork on a pale wood base and a light varnish finish.
The box’s three smoothly sliding drawers, with dovetail construction, have delicate bone knobs. An unusual handled design enhances the box’s charm. The back of the large drawer reveals a hidden decorative detail – a delightful surprise for collectors.
A stunning table box and a timeless example of Georgian-era sophistication.
