AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Old lacquered black wooden tea box with a double lid.

Elegant old square-shaped tea box, made of wood with a black lacquer finish on the exterior.
The lid is decorated with a pattern of convex metal studs as well as a central pierced motif, lending a sober and refined style.

The interior features mahogany-toned wood (or mahogany-stained wood), with a double inner lid equipped with a small button, typical of traditional tea boxes allowing better preservation of aromas.

The hinges and metal elements are original and functional.
Object that is both functional and decorative, ideal for collection, decoration or storage.

Good overall condition for an antique item, presence of signs of use and wear over time (scratches, small marks, slight lacquer wear), without structural defects, missing the key, see the photos as part of the description.
