About the Item

Early 19th century stationery box, which has been converted from a knife box. It is a classic serpentine shape in the front, with the edges inlaid in boxwood. There is a central silver plaque on the top lid of the box and a silver escutcheon on the bottom, which connects to a lower silver shield. The box is solid mahogany and when the lid is lifted, there is an inlaid oval surrounding a central star in ebony and satinwood. In the base of the box, it has been thoughtfully converted to hold stationery, for use on a desk or in any room in your home or office. What an excellent find!
