Description from the seller
Here you have a carefully crafted, elegant and sales-oriented description, perfect for highlighting this early-20th-century Victorian box:
---
A Victorian box from the early 20th century, made of solid wood, a broad and sturdy piece that was originally used to house scientific instruments or materials for classification. Its functional design, typical of the filing furniture of the era, combines with refined artisanal work that today is especially attractive to collectors and lovers of objects with history.
The wood has a warm, well-preserved finish, with visible grain that adds character and authenticity. The front latch features brass detailing—including the hardware and the fastening mechanism—that add an elegant touch and underscore its Victorian origin. On one of the sides, the box retains its original metal handle, designed to facilitate transport and typical of the professional containers used in laboratories, study cabinets, or technical offices of the era.
It is in good overall condition, preserving the honest marks of the passage of time that confirm its age and use, as seen in the photographs. These traces do not detract from its beauty; on the contrary, they enrich its presence and make it a piece with soul, ideal both as a decorative object and for practical use indoors with a vintage, industrial, or classic aesthetic.
A magnificent opportunity to add to any collection or interior design project an authentic Victorian box—robust, elegant, and rich in history.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
