Product Description
A practical piece with a quiet sense of intimacy. This late Victorian to Edwardian timber keepsake box features warm-toned wood with brass strap detailing and a central escutcheon, opening to reveal a fitted interior with a hidden drawer and working key.
The form and construction are consistent with late 19th to early 20th century domestic boxes, likely used for storing small personal items such as jewellery, letters, or treasured belongings. The inclusion of compartments and a concealed drawer suggests both organisation and a degree of privacy, reflecting how such objects were used within the home.
Measuring approximately 27cm x 11cm, the box presents well with condition consistent with age, including surface wear to the timber and patina to the brass. A well-balanced piece, suited to modern use as a jewellery or keepsake box.
We endeavour to provide accurate information on all items; however, as these are antique and vintage pieces, variations and signs of age are to be expected and form part of their character. Please contact us if you would like further details or additional photos prior to purchase.
If this piece could talk, it would speak of small things carefully kept, drawers quietly opened, and the gentle rhythm of everyday life. Of objects held close, and moments shaped by quiet intention.
