Antique Flame Mahogany Empire Tea Caddy Wooden Casket Box 19th century

About the Item

Rectangular shape mahogany veneered casket made in first half of 19th century presumably in Europe. High quality work of applied arts in Neoclassical (Biedermeier) style. The fork of a mahogany tree for “flame”, or the curly “burr” found near the roots of walnut trees, form especially beautiful grain. Wide planks of this type of wood tend to warp and curl, so the technique of veneering allows it to be glued to more stable wood with less attractive grain, for results that are beautiful and durable. Size app.: 18 cm (roughly 7.1 in) high, 31.4 cm (roughly 12.4 in) long, 16 cm (roughly 6.3 in) deep. Very good condition considering age and usage wear. Please study high-res pictures for cosmetic condition! In person actual item may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 1.2 kg is going to measure some 2 kg volume weight packed for shipment.
