About the Item
Tunbridge Ware Wedge Shaped Stationery Box, c1860
Additional Information:
Heading: Tunbridge Ware - A Wedge Shaped Stationery Box
Date : c1860
Period : Victorian
Origin : Tunbridge Wells; England
Decoration : An abbreviated wedge-shape in section, with a curved lid; features floral mosaics to all four sides and the top - set within banded and continuous keyline stringing, with the main design featuring chrysanthemums set within a golden satinwood surround. Three sided of this main image also have a six-square geometric border and there is a five-square border around the flat sides of the lid; base lined with mottled black and green paper. Internally, there would have originally been four lateral dividers, but one of these has been lost and as a consequence another has been cut in half and rotated by 90 degrees to form three larger wells - a unique configuration; the inside of the lid is lined with original blue/grey satin and has a series of pen/pencil loops affixed; otherwise lined with an original blue and gold printed lining paper.
Size : 21.1 W x 14.0 D x 12.1 H cm
Condition : good; there are some carefully-filled losses to the satinwood reserve on the lid along with a lateral grain crack and another diagonal crack through the image, reserve and banded border; otherwise excellent externally other than a small indentation with a split to the veneer on the rear face. Internally, the satin is tired and rather grubby, and the lining paper worn in places, including a short piece to one edge which has been lost altogether; there are two vacant vertical grooves to each side where the dividers have been reconfigured. the box closes and locks securely, and there is a waxy deposit on the base
Restoration : Alterations to dividers as above
Note : The base paper used for this item marks it out as having been made - in all probability - by Henry Hollamby; this is also entirely consistent with the mosaic image, wool-work bands and geometric borders

Tunbridge Ware Handkerchief Box Edmund Nye, circa 1860
By Edmund Nye Tunbridge Wells
Located in Tunbridge Wells, GB
Tunbridge Ware Edmund Nye Square Handkerchief Box, circa 1860
Although labelled, the form of this box - and especially the lining paper - are consistent with other pieces identified as coming from Edmund Nye's manufactory; the influence of Thomas Barton can be defined from the inclusion of his signature green oak tesserae in the design prior to Barton assuming control of the business in 1862
