Description:
Primitive Inlaid box This particular box, incorporating thick hand cut veneers and displaying unsophisticated workmanship, is difficult to accurately date. While clearly an amateur piece, and lacking in the sophistication of a genre popular as show pieces of our native timbers, it is nevertheless enhanced by the use of a brass escutcheon (key hole), and was probably made as a hobbyist's personal jewellery box. Width 37 cm Depth 23 cm Height 19 cm
