British Colonial Ebony Pen Box
Late 19th centurySGD 1,150
This beautiful antique, British colonial pen box was hand fashioned of rare ebony, with a hinged lid. The whole body displays shallow, incised patterns, decoratively enhanced by intricate florals. The original brass lock and key found in the front keeps valuable treasures safe. Additional floral carving is found on the underside of the lid while the interior is fitted with two compartments for pens and other odds and ends. This special box will most certainly be a centerpiece in a den, office, or perhaps find a unique use in the home.
The box is in good condition and has been lovingly restored and finished to its former glory using a traditional form of French polishing and waxing. Ebony is a rare, expensive black wood of very close grain and is heavy in weight.
