Mauchline Ware are wooden souvenirs manufactured in Scotland, primarily in factories in or near Mauchline and predominantly made of sycamore. The items have various finishes in a large variety of applications. Most Mauchline Ware products have transfers or photographs of popular tourist locations. There were also finishes with tartan, fern and black lacquer. 

On offer here is a little honey-toned wooden box - it would have been a sweet little Victorian souvenir which you would have purchased on your travels in Scotland. 

This is a little trinket box - it is in nice clean condition. It has an image of Edinburgh (looking along Princes Street) from the top of Calton Hill. This was a very popular image with Victorian tourists to the city.  

The box is in good antique condition with clear images on the lid - nice and clean inside and out - and with a honey-coloured patina to the wood outside. The wood is nice and shiny. There is a little single hinge at the back and a little clasp to the front. 

Measurements: The box is 8.5 cm wide. with a depth of 6 cm, and a height of 4.5 cm. A fine Victorian souvenir item. Listed at a fair price, given the popular subject matter and its condition.  I have taken lots of images for your inspection. 

It will cost £4.95 to post them to you in the UK with Royal Mail Recorded postage - this will be applied to your order at the checkout. 

HISTORY: Mauchline Wares are Scottish wooden items which date from about the 1880s - until the 1900s. They are generally wooden souvenirs and giftware - made of fruitwood and decorated with black transfer designs. The scenes are usually of landmarks and popular towns - and spots favoured by tourists. They were very popular in their day and many pieces were exported globally.

The centre of the Mauchline Ware industry is the small village of Mauchline - which is located 11 miles inland from the Scottish coastal resort of Ayr. At its peak over 400 people were involved in the manufacture of these small (but always beautifully made) wooden souvenirs. Similar products were also made in Lanark - but most of the pieces are known by the generic name of Mauchline Ware.
