Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: A nice very well made wood box that is very nice looking. It would make a great addition to your wood box collection, or to use on your dresser.

Condition: The box is in very good condition with no major problems. It has no breaks and no repairs. It has a few scratches and a few minor dings to the surface. The hinge works well and is original to the box. The felt pieces at the bottom of the feet appear to have been added later but do serve a purpose and are still solidly in place with some wear. Be that as it may, the box is in great condition, solid and beautiful. Please see photos for additional condition information.
