Old Turned Maple Wood Lidded Cylindrical Canister Lid Having Button Cap Finial
Description: A beautiful antique lathe turned maple wood lidded canister. The piece has a lid with a central finial that is, in our opinion, button shaped with a central riser. The piece has a flat circular base with a shaped extended foot and slightly curved sides ending in a shaped top having a central riser to accommodate the lid. The lid has a flat top and the finial in the center. This lath turned wood canister has a beautiful stained and varnished surface with a light brown color. The interior is not stained or varnished and shows the bare wood. The piece is unmarked. This a antique worthy of a spot in any collection. The piece is undated and was most likely made in late 1800s to early 1900s. Please carefully review the photos as they are part and parcel of our description.

Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is definitely a nice handmade antique canister with nice coloring and patina.
