A truly charming antique hand-painted folk art box that just keeps giving. The exterior features naive folk art decoration: pink daisies on the lid and gold scrollwork on the front with traces of a small keyhole detail. The interior reveals an original mirrored lid with beautifully aged silvering AND the most incredible original block-printed paper lining in green and gray geometric and floral patterns, the kind of hand-decorated antique paper that’s a treasure in its own right. Likely mid to late 1800s, possibly Pennsylvania Dutch, New England primitive, or European folk tradition. Perfect for jewelry, gloves, sewing notions, keepsakes, or just as a styled object on a dresser or vanity. Dimensions: 12” x 4” x 8”
