Interesting, yes, I was aware that the colonists were PROHIBITED! :hilarious: from engaging in the brass foundry biz. I always assumed for 2 main...
On the other hand, a quick look at Marhamchurch, my go-to english dealer for all things in early oak in the UK. "Elizabeth I oak and marquetry...
Generally speaking, Yes, but this one is so small at 10 inches wide, it's a bit of a puzzle. Early "full size" desk boxes like this are usually in...
Yes, thinks Ghopper covered this pretty well. Photos are VERY small, hard to tell much plus not in my area of interest but thinks 20th century is...
I don't think so, 99% sure they are not, if they were the box would almost certainly be english.

I have seen painted examples of that style done with some spectacular results. GOOD LUCK! on your project.
Yes, I think that's correct. Late victorian isn't in much demand these days even when in perfect condition which this is not. Can't tell wood...
