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. 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
