ABOUT THIS PIECE
Believed to date from about 1880–1910, this practical storage box reflects a time when painted finishes were sometimes used to imitate more expensive woods. The faux grain decoration is simple and somewhat crudely executed, giving the box a distinctly rustic, utilitarian quality rather than a refined furniture finish.

Visible square nail heads on the underside are an appealing construction detail and contribute to its antique character.

INSPIRATION
Use it to organize seed packets, sewing supplies, twine, correspondence, photographs, or other everyday household items. It works equally well displayed on open shelving or tucked into a cupboard where practical storage is close at hand.

Styling props shown in photos are not included. Listing is for the wooden box only.

CONDITION
Sound antique condition. The original painted finish shows chipping, scratches, and surface wear consistent with age and use. A small hole remains in the lid where the original pull or knob was attached. Hinges are intact and functional. The painted interior shows age-related wear, and the underside has scratches and edge wear.
