There is no loss or chips on any of the wooden pieces. About Tunbridge Ware- Tunbridge Wells in Kent started attracting tourists as early as the 17th century. When travelers came to partake of the curative powers of its spring waters. By the end of the 17th century"curious wooden wares" were sold in Tunbridge shops. About 1830 craftsmen from Tunbridge discovered a new way of decorating their wares. Bunches of wooden sticks were glued together lengthwise. When they dried, they were cut in slices and glued onto paper before being veneered on to a wooden surface. From then on, Tunbridge craftsmen produced a great variety of designs- each unique as no single one could be reproduced a second time. A variation appeared in the 1860s- stickwork. Instead of slicing the wood horizontally, it was turned on a lathe and the patterns ran lengthwise. This technique was used on a myriad of souvenirs, including no end of sewing tools- needle cases, pin boxes, silk winders, glove menders, thimble cases, wax and emery holders as well as pin cushions including this one- all in the famous Tunbridge marquetry. SIMILAR DESIGNS CAN BE SEEN on p. 144 of Nerylla Taunton's book Antique Needlework Tools and Embroideries. THANK YOU FOR CHECKING OUT MY STORE. WE VALUE YOU TRUST AND BUSINESS.HAVE A GREAT DAY!
