Small 19th Century Fingered Bentwood Pantry Box in Original Green Paint

Small 19th Century Fingered Bentwood Pantry Box in Original Green Paint

$100.00

There are plenty of antique bentwood box experts out there; I am not one of them. But I know enough to recognize a 19th century example when I come across one, and to know that small painted fingered ones tend to be fairly desirable.

Photos give a good sense. Original green paint with a little blue in it. Small square iron nails joining flat of the lid to its rim and the bottom to the body of the box, and large ones at the ends of the fingers. Wear to the paint where you would expect it. Thin walled, light in weight, and with the lid fitting quite snugly over the sides. A couple of small losses to the bottom edge of the rim of the lid, and those small square nails protruding just a bit--all as shown. 

2 7/8" d x 1 5/8" t.
