Fine William and Mary 17th Century Olive Oyster Lace Box

A fine late 17th-century olive oyster ‘Lace Box’ of small proportions, circa 1680-1690, England.

The cross-grain moulded and holly banded top is finely veneered in hand-cut veneers of olive cut horizontally, known as ‘olive oyster veneering’. Inset with holly stringing consisting of a roundel to the centre a quartered. Opening on the original slot hinges, the cleated top appears to retain the original red japanned interior as does the base.

Similarly, the cross-grain moulded frieze is veneered in olive to the sides and face but, this time, hand-cut sections of figured olive. The back is veneered in lacewood.

Wonderful colour and well patinated original surfaces of very good colour.

Condition

Good. Wear consistent with age and use. Truly outstanding and original. Lovely colour and patination throughout.
