A lovely Regency penwork sewing pannier or box of unusual shape. Rather than being the more usual  straight sided rectangular box the four vertical corner sides are curved which gives a lovely appearance to it.

It is decorated on all four sides with polychrome painting of flowers and leaves. This follows through on the swing handle as well.

On the hinged lid there is a print of  the inside of Bettisons Library Margate.

The interior retains its original pink paper lining.

It measures 12.5cm w x 9cm d x 7cm h.

    ANTIQUE TREEN

    The word Treen is derived from the word tree and is a term used to describe wooden household objects, all turned from one piece of wood e.g. a bowl, plate, gingerbread mould, and spoons, always having a function.

    Nowadays when we talk about Antique Treen it tends to cover all small wooden items including antique snuff boxes, candle stands, spice towers, etc. often made from several pieces of turned wood.

     

    When a piece of wood has been painstakingly turned or carved, handled, polished and loved over a few hundred years old, it can develop a wonderful colour and patina and becomes an irresistible piece of Antique Treen.
