Tunbridge Box Still Bank, circa 1870s
About the Item
This Tunbridge box still bank is indigenous to the Tunbridge ware cottage industries of the town of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England in the 18th and 19th century. Typically the boxes were inlaid with a multiplicity of different colored woods, cut in small pieces and left natural to form a mosaic pattern.
This particular box is Victorian, circa 1870s. In addition to being attractive it's uniqueness is the fact that it is a coin savings bank. It is made of walnut and inlaid with two rectangular mosaic bands of ebony, boxwood, walnut and other woods. The coin escutcheon on top. and the key hole escutcheon in front are nicely shaped and made of brass. Box is in excellent all original condition with no alterations. A key is provided but does not turn the tumblers all the way (which is probably a good thing so you can't get locked out of the box and have to destroy it to gain entry!).
Dimensions: 7 7/8" wide x 5 1/4" deep x 4 1/4" high.

- Staffordshire Cottage Still Bank, English, circa 1880By StaffordshireLocated in Incline Village, NVVery attractive and well-made decorative and colorful Staffordshire porcelain money box or savings bank; made in England, indicative of the style potters from that region employed, circa 1880. Nicely detailed with green floral facie, orange double pane windows and front door, and a white painted cottage with brown steps and green fauna at entry. There were no "coin traps" or provisions for coin removal so banks such as these are rare since smashing or breaking the bank was the only method by which the money could be retrieved. The bank is in very good all original condition with only a minor "hairline" repair to one of the chimney stacks (see image). It is very sound and done a long time ago and is hardly noticeable. Being a cross collectible, this would be a very unique addition for a Staffordshire collector indeed (the subject being a money box), or a welcome compliment to any still bank...Category
