Vintage Straw Marquetry Jewelry Box with Townscape Lid, Houses and Trees, Scrolling Foliage Front, Small Trinket Box with Mirror
A whole little town is laid out on the lid of this box, made entirely from tiny strips of dyed and natural straw. Tall houses with peaked roofs and rows of windows line both sides of a road, a round tower stands at the left, and a pair of trees rises in the centre, their leaves set in small diamond facets. The scene is framed by a border of straw chequerwork. On the front, scrolling foliage in natural straw spreads out from a small keyhole. Every surface glints with the soft sheen that straw marquetry is known for, and the colours have mellowed with age. Inside, the original mirror is set in the lid. It’s a charming small box for rings, earrings or keepsakes.
Condition: Good Vintage Condition, with wear from use and small losses to the straw on all four sides (including near the keyhole and on the front scrollwork), some spotting to the lid scene, desilvering to the mirror and an interior in original, unrestored condition, as pictured. No key.
