About the Item

Heading : Tunbridge ware games box depicting Bayham Abbey Date : c1865 Period : Victoria Origin : Tunbridge Wells, Kent Decoration : Central mosaic image of the ruins of Bayham Abbey within keylines; this is bordered by a berlin woolwork oak leaf pattern which is also within keylines. The side panels are decorated with fruiting vine berlin woolwork banding. The box contains the rules of Bridge, a cribbage board with six white and two black pegs together with two wooden whist markers Size : 27.5x22.3x8.5cm Condition : Good, there is some lifting to the central image, one significant line traverses the image around 2/3 of the way up. Otherwise just general light wear, the image and the woolwork patterns are all crisp and clear Restoration : The central image has been stabilised. The whole box has been profesionally cleaned and polished Weight : 1001 grams The image is originally by Henry Hollamby. We know, however, that Thomas Barton and Edmund Nye also used Hollamby's version and, while we suspect this is probably a Hollamby original, it might be the work of the Nye / Barton partnership.
