Tunbridgeware collectables (sold - £60)

Tunbridgeware represent the pinnacle of 19th-century decorative micro-mosaic and marquetry craftsmanship, which explains why antique wooden boxes and vanity items featuring these geometric patterns.

Artisans glued together thousands of tiny, precisely cut blocks of naturally colored woods (sometimes up to 40 different shades derived from oak, holly, yew, sycamore, and plum, occasionally chemically treated or fungus-stained like green oak). This mosaic block was then sliced thinly like a loaf of bread to produce multiple identical strips of geometric patterns or pictorial scenes (such as castles, butterflies, or flowers) to veneer onto boxes, tea caddies, and brushes.
