Originally, this would have been fitted with a wooden handle and used as a crumb catcher or "Silent Butler." However, the handle has been removed and it now makes an excellent storage box. The feet are an incredible detail! Little brass lion's feet at the four corners make this extra special. The lid has a lovely scalloped edge and a curved lid catcher on top. This is spacious, measuring 5 1/4" W x 5 1/2" L x 3" H to the lid catcher. There is some patina present, as pictured, and the box is a beautiful deep brass color. There is a mark on the rear of the box, as pictured, where the handle would have fit originally. This can be used as a jewelry or trinket storage box. It would be lovely as storage for soaps or small cosmetics in your bathroom, or even to hold tissues.
The listing is for the trinket box only. Any staging materials are not included.
Please look carefully at the pictures for condition and size, using the zoom feature if needed, as the pictures are part of the description. I will always do my best to point out obvious defects, if they exist. I am also happy to answer any questions and provide additional photos or measurements as necessary.
