Tunbridge Ware Pillow Top Handkerchief Box c1880

About the Item

Heading : Tunbridge ware handkerchief box Date : c1880 Period : Victoria Origin : Tunbridge Wells, Kent Decoration : Central perspective cube pattern within keylines, floral berlin woolwork border also within keylines. The side panels are also decorated with floral banding within keylines. Size : 15.5x15.5cm 7.5cm height Condition : Excellent, no missing tesserae, minimal wear - a small area of varnish loss to the mottom left corner as one views the item from in front. Restoration : Relined interior. Weight : 394 grams WE believe this is the work of Thomas Barton, either as lead designer at Edmund Nye's manufactory or during his early indepdence. Notes : This has elements of different company features from the latter part of the 19th century and in to the 1900's from the period when Boyce, Brown & Kemp transitioned in to Kemp & King and then into the Tunbridge Wells Manufacturing Co; the rather indistinct floral band is typical of the latter but the general form of the box is a little too good for their outturn whilst other elements point to an earlier source - perhaps when BB&K were still utilising the remnants of Barton/Hollamby stockpiles
