Exquisite Antique French Hand Painted Tole Box, in such an unusual shape and rarer to find small size. Beautifully decorative for your French Country home, this has a stunning double painted rose bouquet on the front and back. Two little flowers decorate the top, little boxes like this were used to store pen ‘nibs’ on a desk when simple pen holders or fancier fountain pens were used to write with real ink.
Perfectly imperfect with timeworn patina and wear, just what you would expect. Colors are golden yellow, red, blue, white and green, the flowers are all garden favorites. At one time the back attached with the hinge, but this has broken off in the last century. It does close all the way. Please only buy this if you love the grace and patina of time.
- Measures 5″ x 2-5/8″ x 3-1/2″h.
