Antique Striped Rosewood Jewelry Box
Antique Striped Rosewood Jewelry Box
Couldn't load pickup availability
A hinged box veneered in alternating bands of rosewood and a pale, figured wood, with the stripes running vertically across the front and sideways across the lid. The velvet-lined lid closes over an open, paper-lined well, sized for a dressing table or desk. I like how the stripes change direction between the front and the top. Both lining materials are in good condition.
This box is in good condition for its age, with wear that fits 150 years or more of use, mostly to the lid edge, the ends and the base. The veneer is sound. I found no splits, cracks, repairs or staining, and there is no odor. The hinges work well and the lid sits and closes properly. There is no key, and the lock does not operate without one. The interior is an open well with no tray or fitted compartments. The lid lining is velvet and the well is lined in paper, both in good condition, though I can't say either is original to the box. The underside is covered in brown baize that shows age wear.
Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
