Peacocks box

scroll saw frework box with peacocks, leaves, branches and two mirrors

  During the Victorian era peacocks became a very popular ornamentation motif, appearing very often in interior design, all types of furniture, stained glass and of course in fretwork. This box is a late example of this trend. It shows peacocks on the sides and lid, surrounded by branches and leaves. The design is completed by two small mirrors on the sides of the lid (not shown in the image). This pattern is a complete reconstruction of an old English design. The pattern contains instructions to hinge the box or to make the lid with guides that encase accurately in the box.

  The pattern is made to make the box with 1/8 and 1/4 inches wood or with 3 and 6 mm. wood, but of course it can be resized at will. This table gives the measures of the box depending on the wood you use:

  Height Width Depth
1/8 and 1/4 in. wood 4,3 in. 15 in. 7 in.
3 and 6 mm. wood 10,3 cm. 36 cm. 16,7 cm.
