About the Item

Solid Satinwood Deck From our Knife Boxes collection, we are delighted to offer this original Georgian Satinwood Knife Box. The Knife Box with sloped top and breakfront D-shaped section veneered in Satinwood with Tulipwood Crossbanding and Boxwood stringing. The Knife Box stands upon three ebonised Ogee feet and the front features a small looped finger tab and a silvered escutcheon. When opened the boxes reveal the original solid Satinwood deck with an inlaid star to the lid and multiple sections for cutlery. The Knife Boxes date to the Georgian period during the reign of George III circa 1790. The Knife Box comes complete with a working lock and tasselled key. Satinwood is found in India and Sri Lanka. It has a rich golden colour and an almost reflective sheen. Satinwood is traditionally used for high quality furniture. Boxwood “Buxus sempervirens” can be found in Europe, Northwest Africa and Southwest Asia. It is a light cream that turns darker to brown when exposed to light. The trees are very small meaning it is suited to smaller projects like edging or inlay instead of veneers. Tulipwood is also known as Brazilian Tulipwood, Brazilian Pinkwood and Bahia Rosewood. It is found in South America, mainly Brazil. The colour is warm yellow with streaks or brown-red grain. Georgian, a period in British history dating from 1714-1837, the Georgian era after the Hanoverian kings George I, George II, George III and George IV.
