A striking vintage lidded desk or keepsake box crafted from wood and entirely clad in hand-marbled paper, dating to approximately the 1960s or 1970s. The paper features a traditional Peacock, Pavone or Bouquet pattern, created by combing floating pigments into rhythmic rows of featherlike scallops. Its beautifully neutral palette combines chocolate brown, taupe, caramel, cream and parchment, producing the visual richness of stone or tortoiseshell from a distance. A long brass-toned piano hinge connects the fitted lid to the rectangular body. The spacious, unlined wooden interior makes the box useful for storing correspondence, photographs, stationery, jewelry, remote controls or other personal keepsakes. Although its exact origin is unknown, the box follows the long Florentine tradition of covering wooden desk accessories with hand-decorated marbled paper. Display it on a library desk, cocktail table, console or dresser, either alone or stacked with art and design books...

Regency, circa 1820 Painted to simulate palisander wood and with parcel-gilt, the cavetto-moulded hinged lids cast with flower sprays above foliate-cast bands over front panels relieved with river gods within canted corners cast with standing muses, the sides with lion mask and ring handles over leafy aprons on massive lion’s paw feet; the Brahmah type lock stamped “T. Davis from London” and impressed with the Royal Crown. These extraordinary pieces are modelled on Regency wine coolers. The forms are classic Greco-Roman revival with the boat-hook handles, mythic figures and the overall sarcophagus pattern. You would struggle to find one let alone a pair. Good items for any collection. Research on going into these strong boxes but we have found possible information on the lock stamped Davis….(historyoflocks ) The relationship of King George III and George Davis of Windsor, who was locksmith in ordinary to His Majesty.
