Early Dove-Tailed, Slide Top Candle Box in Dry Original Red Paint, circa Early-Mid 19th Century. Built by a skilled craftsman, this Candle Box exhibits excellent use of tight dove-tailed joints for sides and cut nails for base; the side top is nicely paneled and the pull shows the original gouge marks. The Paint is Dry Original and a Classic Early Red. There is an old store paper bag inside, used to protect the bottom. On the end at the top there is an area of old mouse chew, allowing that touch of life’s realities – the work of a hungry mouse. The Box measures 12” in length, 6 5/8” in width, and 5 ¾” in height. A Fine Example of an Early Candle Box. (MX062) Click on Photo for larger image. Contact us for additional photos. Price $375 plus shipping |
