The History of Gift Boxes
|
 |
|
|
Wooden gift boxes, often
made in oak, were made over a period of several centuries by medeival
craftsmen operating within the tradtional Guild system.
The gift boxes were principally used for storing the Family Bible, although
they were also used for storing important documents, deeds, letters, books,
writing materials and perhaps lace, gloves or other valuables.
The publication entitled Oak Furniture; the British Tradition written by
Victor Chinnery and published in 1979 by The Antique Collectors Club,
contains many superb photographs of antique gift boxes.
