Inlaid Octagonal hardwood Box with Fitted Interior and Key, English Early 19th C

About the Item

This is a beautifully hand made oak Sewing Box, of octagonal form with inlaid sunburst top, fully fitted interior and having a working lock and key, all dating to circa 1840. The box has an octagonal form and is fully fitted out internally with a lift out inner compartment. The carcase of tis finely handmade box is made of oak, which has been carefully veneered and inlaid with different types and colours of hardwood timbers, to the top and all sides, having a sunburst inlay to the centre top. Internally the box is all fitted out and has a lift out central section. with a further storage area below as per the images. It is the very high quality and intricacy of the inlaid hardwoods which makes this piece special. The box comes complete with two sets of scissors, tape measure, thimble, sets of needles and various cottons etc. This box also has a working key which is a further bonus as the keys are generally missing with 19th century pieces. This box has clearly been used as a sewing box, but would also make an excellent box for jewelry or trinkets, on the desk or dressing table.
