A beautifully crafted antique jewellery box in richly figured walnut, featuring a striking octagonal escutcheon with intricate geometric banding in the manner of Tunbridge ware. The warm tone and flowing grain give the piece real presence, while the crisp inlay detail adds a refined decorative element.
The interior opens to a well-fitted, compartmentalised layout, lined in a vibrant raspberry silk with cream divisions, designed for organised storage of jewellery and small treasures. A central lidded compartment and multiple sections make it both practical and elegant.
Likely dating to the late 19th century, this is a charming and functional piece with strong decorative appeal.
