About the Item
Heading : Tunbridge ware stationery box with mosaic image of Shakespeare’s Birthplace
Date : c1870
Period : Victoria
Origin : Tunbridge Wells, Kent
Decoration : A rectangular box with a low. rounded and square-ended lid. The main image is Henry Hollamby’s fine representation of William Shakespeare’s birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. set within a plain holly veneer border and notable for the very fine tesserae used for the detailing of the leaded windows. The image is bounded by a ten-square geometric pattern band within banded and continuous stringing. A narrower seven-square band runs around all four square edges of the lid. within a pair of two continuous and one banded stringing . The main sides of the body all have a broad oak-leaf and acorn bounded by continuous stringing. Internally one main well with four curved lateral dividers to give five equal ‘storage’ slots. Both these and the internal veneers being made of the same. pale wood (probably maple or boxwood). Working lock with key present.
Size : 22cm x 16.6cm, 11.5cm height
Condition : Excellent, no missing tesserae and minimal wear.
Restoration : None
Weight : 814 grams
Notes :Given that this is acknowledged as one of Hollamby’s two finest marquetry images (along with that of The Pantiles). and the absence of any other identification – notably the lack of green tiles in the oak-leaf band or any dark coromandel or ebony veneers. it is reasonable to assume that this piece comes from Hollamby’s own workshop. rather than that of Thomas Barton.

Tunbridge Ware Handkerchief Box Edmund Nye, circa 1860
By Edmund Nye Tunbridge Wells
Located in Tunbridge Wells, GB
Tunbridge Ware Edmund Nye Square Handkerchief Box, circa 1860
Although labelled, the form of this box - and especially the lining paper - are consistent with other pieces identified as coming from Edmund Nye's manufactory; the influence of Thomas Barton can be defined from the inclusion of his signature green oak tesserae in the design prior to Barton assuming control of the business in 1862
