Additional information

A pair of Late 18th Century Urn Shaped Cutlery Boxes represents an exquisite blend of craftsmanship and decorative artistry from the period. These boxes, designed for storing and displaying cutlery, are a testament to the fine woodworking skills of the era.

Each box is meticulously crafted with a veneered surface, showcasing the rich and elegant wood grain, which is typically mahogany or another luxurious hardwood. The urn-shaped design lends them a sense of classical grace, reminiscent of neoclassical influences popular during the late 18th century.

What sets these cutlery boxes apart is the intricate inlay detailing adorning their surfaces. Delicate marquetry and string inlays form geometric patterns, floral motifs, or even scenes of pastoral beauty. These decorative elements are often created using contrasting woods, such as satinwood or ebony, to create a striking visual impact.

Furthermore, these boxes feature a clever and practical design element – they can extend to a length of 11 inches when opened. This not only increases their storage capacity but also adds an element of surprise and ingenuity to their functionality.

These Late 18th Century Urn Shaped Cutlery Boxes are more than just utilitarian objects; they are works of art that showcase the skill and aesthetic sensibilities of the period. Their veneered surfaces, intricate inlays, and innovative design make them cherished relics of a bygone era, admired for their beauty and craftsmanship.
