About the Item

Origin : Tunbridge Wells, Kent
Decoration : Mosaic image of a butterfly within keylines. Geometric marquetry border. Side panels decorated with a broad band of stickware diamonds

Condition : Extraordinary - for a piece this old to have no missing tesserae and remarkably little wear is testament to outstandig treatment by previous collectors. The interior has the orignal silk lining, which is a little frayed, particularly on the right hand side.
Restoration : The base has been felted - this is not original

A sumptuous example of early tessalated Tunbridge ware in remarkable condition - maker uncertain although quite possibly Edmund Nye. Nye is seen as the originator of butterflies / moths on Tunbridge ware although George Burrows was also known to be producing such wares at the time.
