Tunbridge Ware Needlework Box
A first class Tunbridge Ware needlework box in an unusual casement shape with geometric mosaic patterns on all surfaces around the main perspective cube decoration.
Pretty inside with original dividers and tray. Brass ball feet.
All the geometric tesserae are perfect across the top, the angled corners and the sides: There is a small flaw in the tumbling block marketry – see photo E. The interior tray re-lined in yellow silk and paper. Lacks scissor tray. Replacement rosewood winders.
Would make a beautiful Tunbridge Ware jewellery box.
