Lot #409: Vintage Decorative & Trinket Boxes

An intriguing collection of four vintage decorative and trinket boxes, each with its own distinctive construction and character. The highlight is a handsome wooden box with decorative contrasting wood inlay, featuring an ornate scrolling floral/foliate design on the lid and a divided interior. Also included is an unusual wooden match-striker box—a fun conversation piece for anyone who enjoys mechanical boxes. Completing the group are two rectangular hinged boxes: one with a dark horn-like mottled finish and rounded form, and another black rectangular box accented with a simple contrasting decorative border. Materials have not been tested, so the dark box is described by appearance rather than attributed to a specific material. A great little collection for lovers of vintage boxes, folk art, wooden craftsmanship, and unusual small collectibles. Display them together or put them back to work holding jewelry, keepsakes, coins, and other tiny treasures. Pickup category timeslot {B}
