Regency Box Circa 1810 Decorated With Straw Work In A Sunburst Pattern

This small wooden box has been beautifully hand made and covered with a straw work patten. The sunburst design has been created using pieces of straw cut and tapered to create subtle variations of colour and texture. The edges of the box have a similar technique creating stripes of alternating colour. The box is finished with a stand up hinge.
