Elegant and refined, these mahogany letter boxes date from the Georgian period (circa 1800) and exemplify the British taste for functional and decorative furniture. Their curved shape and interior adorned with a star marquetry motif add a touch of distinction to these everyday objects. Originally, these boxes were used to organize and protect correspondence in English aristocratic homes. Today, they make superb decorative pieces for a study or library.
