A Very Good Quality Late 17th Century William & Mary Period Laburnum Oyster Veneered Lace Box, with Very Attractive Geometrically Strung Decoration To Hinged Lid, Enclosing Recently Relined Red Velvet Interior.
The wonderfully figured laburnum oyster veneers are particularly attractive, complemented by the intricate concentric circular stringing to the lid and the bold moulded edges. The box retains a lovely rich colour and surface throughout, with the usual old marks, scuffs and minor imperfections associated with age and use, all blending in nicely. It also retains a working lock and key.
Originally intended for the storage of valuable lace and other delicate textiles, these boxes were both practical and decorative household objects during the late 17th century.
It has been attended to in our workshops by our skilled traditional antique furniture restorers, receiving an appropriate natural wax polish, and is now ready to place in the home.
