Regency Tortoiseshell Jewellery Cabinet Thomas Lund

Regency Tortoiseshell Jewellery Cabinet Thomas Lund.

The Jewellery cabinet veneered in Tortoiseshell with a convex plinth base, large square body and pagoda lid. The exterior is beautifully inlaid with silver stringing and a silvered escutcheon leading to the pyramid shaped top. The cabinet opens from the front with twin doors and reveals the maple wooden interior with royal blue velvet lining. The inside features three pull-out drawers with turned bone button handles, the top drawer features a pocket watch holder and two other partitions with the second and third drawers without partitions. A hidden compartment resides at the top of the cabinet which hinges up from the peak for further storage of smaller more valuable pieces. We firmly attribute the Jewellery Cabinet to renowned box maker Lund of London due to the closely matched characteristics and high-quality craftsmanship which matched the work of Lund. The pair date to the early 19th century during the short-lived Regency era (1811-1820) and the reign of Prince George circa 1811.

The Jewellery Cabinet comes complete with a working lock and tasselled key.
