Tunbridgeware Wooden Box

Wood inlaid with microscopic slivers of contrasting timber — the hallmark of Tunbridgeware, a craft perfected in Tunbridge Wells, England in the nineteenth century. The lid depicts a geometric mosaic in warm and cool tones, a pattern composed of hundreds of thumbnail-sized pieces fitted without adhesive. The sides are lined with a simpler stripe pattern.
