Wonderfully Dove-Tailed Wall Box Made from Early Tiger Maple and Found in New England, Mid-1800s. This Wall Box is an Excellent Example of the work of a Fine Craftsman using the classic Hand Tools of the Period. The 4 Sides are Finely Dove-Tailed; particularly appealing are the early scribe lines from the marking gauges which measure the start of the dove-tail. The Center Board of the box is dowelled in place rather than nailed, leaving the sides clean. The Back Board displays a Simple Flowing Design with its Holding Hole. The Front Board is Slightly Canted, and the Bottom Edges are Accented with Bevel Molding. The Bottom Board is Held in Place with Early Wire Nails, typically used by cabinet makers of the Period. Measurements: 14” wide; 9 ½” back-to-front; 9 ½” back board. Original Untouched Natural Finish with Minimal Wear from Age and Use.
