Located in Northampton, GB
Featuring the McBeth Family Tartan
From our Boxes collection, we are pleased to offer this Scottish Tartanware Box. The Box crafted from Sycamore wood of rectangular form with domed lid decorated extensively to the exterior with the McBeth family tartan with colours or green, red, yellow and blue. When opened the box reveals the original silk lining with a tufted inside lid faced in gold tooling. The storage compartment is lined in cushioned silk with a rope work base edging the perimeter. The box is finished with a brass button catch to the front. The box dates to the middle of the 19th century during the early Victorian Era circa 1850.
Sycamore also known as Harewood is a member of the Maple family, found in Europe. It is light yellow in colour and is often a very clean wood, with a straight, fine grain. The wood is often pippy. However, these pips are usually a very similar colour to the rest of the wood making them hardly visible.

Antique Silver Artist’s Paint Box by Harry Atkin Sheffield 1892
By J Aitkin & Son
Located in London, GB
A stunning Antique Silver Artist’s paint box by Harry Atkin, Date Sheffield 1892.
A Rare Miniature travelling paint box in excellent condition. The silver on both the outside and the interior is in superb condition.
Upon opening, the front cascades down to reveal two wells for water and perhaps mixing colours.
The interior is well protected thanks to the interior gilding. The lid engraved “Lettice’s Paint Box”. Lettice is a traditional, English girl’s name most commonly found in the upper classes.
The actual paints are not original but the current set of paints are a later acceptable replacement. The miniature brush was with it but not original and doubt it ever had one.
