Antique Mahogany Georgian Knife Box W/ Inlaid Sea Shell, Felt Lined - Vintage
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:16788557 | Primary Material: Mahogany |
This box is in great condition. The hinges work perfectly, and there are two handles on the sides. The interior and bottom are felt lined and the felt partitions inside the box can be lifted out if someone wanted to store a bourbon decanter inside or convert this box into a humidor.
The only markings I can find on this box are on the bottom of the two side handles, which a...re marked, "K2700". I don't know what this represents.
I do not have any information about the box or who made it. I bought the box at a high end estate auction.
The box measures 14 1/2" tall. The base is 8 1/2" by 8 1/2". The inside compartment is about 6 1/2 by 61/2" with the font being 7" deep and the back being 10 1/4". The lid has about a 2" deep recess. The box weighs about 6 LBS 8 OZ.
***NOTE*** the only negatives I can see are a minor few dings here and there, with the most noticeably ding on the lid, which is shown in the last picture. The box is in overall great condition and is beautiful with great eye appeal.
Most of the items I sell are estate finds, and arepresented to you in, as is, as found condition. They are described to the bestof my knowledge. Some wear is to be expected, unless described as flawless ormint. I can't know everything about every item I offer, I do inspect each itemand list all known flaws or damage. So please take a good look at the photosand ask questions if need be.
