Description
This 4-piece collection features a varied assortment of mid-century hand-crafted wooden storage and jewelry boxes showcasing distinct woodworking and decorative styles. The lot includes a wooden dome-top treasure chest jewelry box equipped with rivet-studded metal bands, a decorative latch, a side chain lid stop, and a red felt-lined interior with a upper tray; a hand-crafted cedar wooden box featuring box-jointed corners, brass filigree strap hardware across the lid, and an unlined natural interior; a vintage "Mione Treasure Chest" cedar box accented with solid brass band straps, a blank center monogram plate, side drop-bail handles, and a original gold satin fabric lining bearing the maker's woven ribbon tag; and a low wooden jewelry chest styled as a miniature three-drawer credenza, featuring faux drawer fronts with decorative metal bail handles, a red felt-lined interior with a top tray, and an interior lid mirror.
Highlighting traditional box-making techniques—including finger joints, brass strapwork, and cedar constructions—these pieces provide functional storage for jewelry, trinkets, or desktop organization. The combination of natural cedar wood grain, brass embellishments, and plush fabric interiors makes this an attractive grouping for collectors or vintage home decor enthusiasts.
