Dovetailed Lift-Lid Wall Box w/ Divided Interior & Orig. Surface

Item Details

An early 19^th Century – perhaps a bit earlier – dovetailed wall box in the original dry red painted surface. The box has a lift-lid, divided interior and shaped back panel. Untouched, and all original. Beautifully crafted dovetails and only minor edge wear and corner bumps in a couple of places. The box itself is 12” x 7” x 9 ¼”; the lift-lid, which has a slight overhang, is 13” wide. There is a small area of loss on the back side, lower right and that may have happened in the making. And there is minor shrinkage around some of the dovetails. As nice a wall box as I have ever handled.
