Tunbridge micro mosaic Tonbridge Castle mini writing slope and correspondence box, can re-purposed as jewellery box. 185x248x65mm. Tooled edge velvet lining to lid, ruler and compartment lids and inkwell.
Dimensions:
185x248x65mm. approx 1mm x 1mm tesserae
Restoration:
None by us yet. Priced as found. Pretty good condition but benefits from replacement tesserae in a couple of places, interior re-purposing and full restoration available as commission. Has a lock but no key....we can get one cut.
NB. if we replace missing tesserae/inlays/veneer, we do so with real wood tesserae from our vast stocks of Tunbridge micro mosaic spares and veneer. We never use wax/paste fillers or paint faux inlays like many of the less scrupulous restorers we have come across.
Origin:
Tunbridge, UK mid to late 19th century
Extras(please contact the office): Full restoration exterior with satin or matt respray and polish with hardwearing uv and oxidising resistant lacquer to help preserve colours. Interior re-purposing for lift out tray(s) with or without fabric lining. New key or new lock and new key.
