About the Item

Fine quality and condition, 1860s spoon box with a perfectly working silver lock and key. This handcrafted spoon box is another one of our recent great finds. It comes with beautifully shaped panels, while the fitted interior for displaying one’s spoons is lined with green velvet. It is difficult to get your head around how these objects were made. Creating flat pieces from such hard natural material, cutting them precisely and arranging them in perfect patterns across wooden panels, before assembling the box with handcrafted silver hinges, fitting the small lock in exactly the right place and carving the circular bone feet—it is almost too much to take in. It must have required an enormous amount of time and skill to create this stunning box. These boxes were therefore only affordable to the very well-to-do, and this large box must have been beyond the reach of even some members of the upper class. Only the antique box, complete with its working lock and key, is included. The glass has a few light surface scratches, consistent with its age and use. Mind you, our favourable price includes professional packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just four days. Maximum width × depth × height: 8.4 × 6 × 2.6 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings on 1stdibs by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
