17th c. Dutch Colonial Macassar Ebony Document Box
-
Description
Rare late 17th century Dutch colonial, probably Sri Lankan, Macassar ebony document box having deeply molded raised panel lid, original richly patinated brass studs, carry handles and hinges, all of pegged construction, the whole with glowing patina.
Ebony, like several other exotic hardwoods, is so dense it is almost completely impervious to glue and thus required skilled joinery and pegged construction to ensure stability. -
