A Rare Pair Of Charles II Carved Oak Desk Box's.

English,Ribble Valley Lancashire Circa 1665.

A pair of oak desk box's from the same workshop and obviously commissioned for the same family one with the initials E.D and the other G.D.

It is rare to find a pair and even rarer to have a family duo.

The top and one-piece sloping lid with delicate punched-decorated and chip-carved ends, the frieze carved with the initials E D /G D next to a band of roundel and geometric-carved decoration, the baseboard extending to a triple-moulded rim.

Original hinges and lockplate to GD and original hinges to ED both with a good patina and colour.

I also have another box from the same workshop with the initials E.A listed and my research has revealed a chair with the initials M.D that was sold by Bonhams so was MD,ED and GD all from the same family and commissioned these items at the same time ?
