Treen wooden box

Offered by: Clinton Howell Antiques

Description
This was likely made as a string box. It is interesting in that the wood turner was confident in his skills to the extent that he left rough edges around the top and the base. This is not typical of English Victorian craftsmen and shows the maker as having an artistic side.
