Pair of Georgian Knife Boxes

About the Item

Fine pair of George III Sheraton Period figured mahogany knife boxes with striking boxwood stringing, silver plated mounts and the original fitted interiors. We have never seen serpentine sides on a knife box before and together with the serpentine fronts, the boxes have an interesting shape.
