Tunbridge Ware Box

Tunbridge Ware Box

Oct 15

 

Here is a fantastic Tunbridge Ware box I recently finished restoring for a customer.

 

As you can see in the following pictures, it came in missing some of the marquetry. I found more that was loose and coming off.

 

 

The keyholes had been plugged in both doors.

 

 

One of the irreplaceable knobs was broke on the bottom drawer

 

 

Here are some pictures after the piece was stabilized and fully restored.

 

 

The escutcheons in the doors had to be made by hand to fit where the plugs were removed.

 

 

The knob on the bottom drawer is not available and had to be meticulously repaired to match the others.

 

 

This is a fantastic piece that was very difficult to repair.

 

The customer was very pleased with the restoration.
