Fine Australian Colonial Cedar trinket Jewelry Box 1890

Please read all of the description below before sending a question, as you will find I may have already answered it for you...especially in relation to postage costs! Local and International postage rates in description below.

This demure Australian cedar box reflects in terms of austerity- the pared back ‘sensible’ aesthetic of Asutralian Colonial furniture of the period. Soft of form, with well pronounced curved corners and slope edged lid- the box lacks nothing in terms of workmanship- yet retains a certain homespun charm. Still retaining its thick burgundy red velvet lining in good condition.

This was no doubt crafted for a sweetheart – and remains perfect today for someone (or something) very special. This would look beautiful on a tall boy dressing table or other cedar piece- or in any period room with an Australian sensibility.

Condition is fine- no chipping or cracks. An odd saw mark or cut across the open edge of the box at front, just adding to the character not detracting one iota.

See several pictures, and item dimensions below.
