Paper filigree work was fashionable during the last part of the eighteenth century through to the early part of the nineteenth century. Paper was rolled up to create small coils and then gilded or coloured to simulate metalwork.
The technique was mostly carried out by ladies for amusement or taught at ladies’ schools. In 1786 an account of paper filigree work was published in the New Ladies’ Magazine illustrating stylised floral patterns and borders, palmettes and garlands. See A. Clarke

Antique 17th Century Charles II Carved Oak Bible Document Box 6 Plank Trunk 1680
Located in Portland, OR
A good antique English, Charles II (Carolean) period carved oak bible or document box, circa 1680.
Such boxes were particularly popular in the 17th century, when printed bibles were very expensive and a treasured family possession. The bible was most likely the only book owned by a family and was also the means of recording births, deaths & marriages which would be written on the flyleaf or endpapers. They were also used to protect other important documents and valuables and were brought to colonial America by early settlers.
This bible box dates shortly after the English Civil War & the brief time that England was a Republic (known then as the Commonwealth) under Oliver Cromwell. The box typifies those Puritan values, simple six plank construction with a hinged lid enclosing a storage area for a bible or important documents. The front of the box having a carved foliate twin lunette design with a hand cut steel lock & hasp above, the box is robust & solid & for it's 350 or so years it is in very good condition!
