A charming little antique Rosewood box with a highly decorative Tunbridgeware lid retaining it's tine little tuned knob.

Originating in the Georgian town of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, visitors began buying wooden souvenirs from the woodworkers of surrounding areas such as Tonbrige and Speldhurst.

During the 1830's James Burrows developed the tessellated mosaic technique which became the most well known type of Tunbridge Ware.

Dating to around 1840, it remains in excellent condition (the underside of the lid has been written on) measuring 3 3/4" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" tall excluding knob.
