An attractive Late 19th Century Antique Victorian Tunbridgeware Folding Cribbage Box. The sides plain, the interior re-lined, the top decorated with marquetry cabbage roses set within the double rows of holes made to take the ivory or bone pegs used for keeping the score.

 This lovely Early 19th Century Antique Tunbridgeware Ladies Needlework Casket may in fact be Georgian, however, we have decided to catalog it as Early Victorian, in the belief that the design of the decorative band around the sides points to it's being of that slightly later date. Whatever, it's a lovely old piece and all in museum condition. Difficult things to find in the marketplace these days, so highly recommended!

 This lovely Mid 19th Century Antique Victorian Papier Mache Card Basket bears no Maker's label, but was probably made in Wolverhampton, the center of the papier mache industry in early Victorian England. Depicting a couple in the romantic setting of an abbey ruin set amongst trees, it retains it's original, softly painted decoration. Inlaid with shell pearl, this delightful scene is set within a border of gilded boughs bearing pearl shell blossoms. Original foliate ormolu handle. The whole in fine, unrestored condition. Very faint, but sadly illegible traces of what may have been an impressed Maker's or Retailer's mark to the underside of the basket. Width: 11.50 in. : Depth: 9.50 in. : Year: Circa 1845 : Ref. AVCMPB. $1695.00. Please add $35.00 USD to your order to ship this item. Thank You.
