A lovely little antique wooden box covered in intricate geometric mosaic decoration. The tiny patterned pieces running around the sides are particularly charming, while the decorative lid and little turned knob make it feel special despite its small size.

This style of mosaic work is a classic example of the craftsmanship behind English Tunbridge ware.
Likely late 19th to early 20th century, c.1880–1910.

A beautiful small object for a dressing table, desk or bedside table — perfect for jewellery, rings or tiny keepsakes, and particularly good layered amongst larger antique boxes.
