This 19th century lacquer work box is a delightful slice of history, offering both charm and character. With dimensions of 30 cm x 12 cm x 20 cm, it is compact yet spacious enough to store trinkets or jewellery. The exterior boasts a rich black lacquer finish adorned with a beautifully hand-painted floral motif, adding a touch of elegance. Inside, the box reveals a vibrant, patterned lining that has been lovingly restored, maintaining its vintage appeal.
The box has a fascinating provenance, once belonging to Helen Walker Chalmers in the early 20th century. In 1970, it was thoughtfully repaired at Wormwood Scrubs Prison under skilled supervision, ensuring its continued durability.
While there are some signs of wear consistent with its age, this work box remains a stunning decorative piece or functional storage solution.
