A very nice example of a 17th Century Olive wood Lace Box in good original condition and of good colour, with highly burnished surface. The front and sides of the box are veneered in olive wood and contrasting warm coloured fruitwood. The back veneered in figured beach. The top made with olive wood oyster veneer, with contrasting geometric patten in Box wood. The thumb mould to the top and base is made in cross grained Olive wood. The inside has been lined later in Mahogany to smarten the appearance of the box.
