There
is a seemingly infinite variety of antique wooden boxes
available to the collector. This variety comes from a number
of factors, the wood of their manufacture, their size, their
usage and the style and ornateness of their decoration.
From the smallest stamp box to the grandest writing slope
there is something for everyone and a range of prices to
cater for every pocket.
