About the Item

Presented with Silver Shield Escutcheons From our Knife Boxes collection, we are delighted to offer this pair of Georgian Satinwood Knife Boxes. The Knife Boxes with sloping tops and breakfront D-shaped sections veneered in Satinwood with Laburnum Crossbanding and a small border of Boxwood stringing. The front features a small looped finger tab to the lid and a silver escutcheon with shield shaped initial plaque featuring an interlaced monogram. When opened the boxes reveal the Mahogany lined interiors with an inlaid star to the lid and multiple sections for cutlery. The Knife Boxes date to the Georgian period during the reign of George III circa 1785. The pair of Knife Boxes come complete with a working lock and tasselled key. Satinwood is found in India and Sri Lanka. It has a rich golden colour and an almost reflective sheen. Satinwood is traditionally used for high quality furniture. Boxwood “Buxus sempervirens” can be found in Europe, Northwest Africa and Southwest Asia. It is a light cream that turns darker to brown when exposed to light. The trees are very small meaning it is suited to smaller projects like edging or inlay instead of veneers. Laburnum or Scotch laburnum, is found in Central Europe. It is a hardwood which is moderately heavy with a coarse texture. Laburnum is a rich olive-green colour which will progressively darken with the age of the wood. Mahogany is the name given to many types of tropical hardwood and can be found in Africa, India and South America, most of which are a red-brown colour with a fine, even grain. This makes it easily workable and gives it a durable finish which attributes to its popularity with many kinds of furniture. Georgian, a period in British history dating from 1714-1837, the Georgian era after the Hanoverian kings George I, George II, George III and George IV.
