Tunbridge Ware - A Fine Sewing Box with Isometric Cubes and Geometric Mosaics, c1850
Additional Information:
Heading: Tunbridge Ware - A Fine Sewing Box with Isometric Cubes and Geometric Mosaics
Date : c1850
Period : Victorian
Origin : Tunbridge Wells, England
Decoration : A rectangular, pillow topped box with a lift-out tray; to the top lid, a central panel of isometric cubs including green oak and slice-cut palmyra tiles; two pairs of continuous and banded keylines frame a frieze made up of a repeating, swag-like geometric pattern around all four edges; the same keylines bound a narrower ten-square geometric pattern around the four flat edges of the body. External elements all set wthin rosewood veneers. Internally, a lift-out tray sits on two ledges; this consists of twelve compartments, two of which have small pin-cushions, one with a lift out 'cushion' which has bands to hold tools in place (see below) and one of which has a fixed, contoured 'thimble holder'. The tray is paper-lined, and has narrow, canted and mosaic-framed edges to the top edge.
Size : 23.1 W x 17.8 D x 10.9 H cm
Condition : Excellent; virtually no tile loss; surfaces are sound and even with just a few minor bumps and bruises; the tray has its original lining paper and pin-cushions, though the lift out lid, thimble holder and well-sides have been relined with green silk some time ago (over the original pale blue paper in the case of the latter)
Restoration : cleaned and polished
Notes : Although unlabelled, the design of this box, the canted mosaic tray-edging, the swag-like frieze and the lining paper are all consistent with pieces which are identified as having been made in the workshops of Edmund Nye; the 'tool cushion' holds tweezers, scissors, a bodkin and what we are reliably informed is either an eyelet-maker or point-turner
