Good late 18th century George 3rd flame mahogany and straight grain mahogany knife box in complete and original condition. Lovely shaped front. The top and front are veneered in a highly figured flame mahogany with kingwood cross banding and boxwood stringing. The handles are white metal, probably silver. The inside is all original as can be seen in the pictures. The condition is pretty good with the only minor flaws being a small old filled hairline crack to the front and one of the brass exterior hinges is an old replacement. Lovely colour with a waxed finish.
