Tole Box With Mahogany Lift Top

This late storage box blends Eastern and Western aesthetics with its hand-painted gilt Chinese character insignia and a Greek key pattern that encircles the rich maroon tin siding. The box is topped with a jointed, hand-carved wooden lid, adding a practical and decorative element to its striking design. "This exquisite piece beautifully showcases the fusion of cultures—ideal for adding a touch of worldly elegance to any setting." England, circa 1880 Dimensions: 22.5W x 17D x 19.5H
