Description:  Here is a great piece that I picked up at an estate sale in Walpole, NH. The house was the summer home of a family of a prominent New York City financier who have been summering in New Hampshire since the 1940s.
 
The box is made from mahogany that just glows. It is lined with green baize and has a mirror in the lid. The mirror is so old that you can see a light waver in the glass if you look at it sideways. When I got it it had old household bills and some odd n ends inside of it as well as the key. It has an interesting lock because you need the key to open it but it appears to click and lock shut when you close the lid. I removed the items and cleaned out the dust from the inside of the box. One of the neatest features of the box are the nice, Aesthetic Movement decals on four sides and the lid of the box. They are not in perfect shape but still look remarkable for being around 140 – 50 years old. You can even see some of the original crackle to the finish. The box has suffered a few bumps and bruises over the years but is a true survivor with a great patina to it as you can see in my pictures. Please check out all the photos to judge the color and condition for yourself.
 
The box measures around 11" long x 6" wide x 4 1/2” tall

 

Keep Coming back to see what the relicseeker has to offer. I travel all around New Hampshire, Vermont, and Northern Massachusetts scouting out places for hidden gems. I have a good eye for what people want and there are plenty of places for me to ferret out antiques and collectible from yesterday and a few gems that will become the antiques of tomorrow.

I try to take detailed pictures of my items but cannot capture every detail. I am not a collector of these items. I often get pieces in box lots with items I do collect and then sell off the other treasures I find to those who will surely appreciate them. All sales are final and "as is, as seen" unless you receive an item that was not in the pictures in this listing.

Shipping: I take great care in wrapping fragile items and have enjoyed great success. I will only ship items under 4lbs. overseas as they can go by First Class Mail as the USPS has discontinued Overseas Parcel Post.
