A small hinged box veneered in alternating bands of golden and dark figured wood, made to hold jewelry, a watch, or a few small papers. What I like most is how the stripes carry from the lid down the front, so the pattern reads as one continuous piece when it's closed.

Antique

Early to mid 19th century, assessed 1820 to 1850

Marks
None observed. The base is covered in black felt that does not lift, so the underside could not be checked.
Construction or Technique
Veneered wooden carcass with mitred lid edge
Secondary Material
Blue velvet lining
Hardware or Mounts
Brass escutcheon, brass butt hinges, brass lid catch. Lock present, no key.

Definite wear throughout, consistent with age and use. There is a small chip to the back of the lid. The veneer is sound, with no lifting and no cracks to the lid, sides, or corners. There is no key, and the lock has not been tested, so I can't say whether it turns or catches. The black felt on the base is fixed in place and does not lift, so I could not inspect the underside for marks or labels. The interior is lined in blue velvet, which is in great condition. I have not established whether the lining or felt is original to the box. Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage

Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.

Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.

We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.

Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.

Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
