Attributed to Alexander Ritchie of Iona

An Arts and Crafts oak slipper box
All-over carved with Celtic and foliate knot-work,the side panels incorporating mythical beasts' heads, with hinged lid flanked by a pair of raised carrying handles, on slightly arched feet 47cm wide x 33cm deep x 45.5cm high, (18.5in wide x 12.5in deep x 17.5in high)

Footnotes

Carved wooden objects by Ritchie are scarce, particularly of this scale. Although unsigned, the knot-work decoration, particularly incorporating grotesque heads, is a recognisible device seen on many of his brass ware designs.
