This is a wonderful RARE antique Black Forest carved wooden box, having a mirror on the inside of the lid. Foliate carving all around the edges & all over the lift up lid - even the bun feet are carved! Could be used as a stationery box for holding paper / letters, as desk tidy or jewellery or keys/pins etc...

The skill of the carver is amazing.
Black Forest carvings were sold in the Victorian/Edwardian period as souvenirs for the wealthy tourists, doing the 'Grand Tour' of Europe & are highly collectable today.

I have a matching inkwell/pen rest listed separately.

I have more Black Forest carvings - I do combine shipping.

Size: 11" long x 9" deep x 3.5" tall

Weight: 1kg before packing

Condition: Very good antique condition. No chips or splits to the wood. On the lid at the front across hotsell the leaves there is a 'ridge', which I believe is a natural shake in the wood. The mirror has some silver loss & 2 of the strips of wood that edge the mirror are missing but the mirror is firmly in place. Hinges are good. Nice patina.

See photos as they form part of the description. White marks are light reflections. Props are not included in the sale.

Sales Tax applies to items shipped to a Canadian address.
