小箱 - フランス - Wood - アンティークの手作り箱

い草模様の手作りアンティーク箱:
19世紀初頭（1800–1825）の棺・箱です。発見時のままの状態で表面にはさまざまな欠損が見られますが、200年以上の物であることを考えれば驚くことではありません。蓋は精巧な木焼き彫刻紋様で飾られています。

arch-shaped lid is adorned with a cityscape, the monogram "FR," and two hearts — suggesting the box was created as a token of affection, perhaps a gift from a man to his future wife. A large crown sits at the top. The interior is lined with red paper, featuring an intricate pattern of hexagonal panels. It is possible that the box was once covered in paper bearing an ink-written inscription, as handwritten text on the front dating from around 1800 can still be seen on the front. While the meaning of the words remains unclear, the piece is certainly intriguing. Please examine the photographs of this charming and rare antique box. Measures: L. 30,3 cm x 20,4 cm x 11,7 cm.
