{"product_id":"vintage-straw-marquetry-box-with-tall-52318","title":"Vintage Straw Marquetry Box with Tall Ship Harbor Scene, Fitted Interior with Flower Lid Compartments and Mirror, Folk Art Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eA three-masted ship sails into harbor across the lid of this box, its rigging picked out in single fine strands of straw, with small sailboats crossing the water around it. On the left, a fortified gateway and towers stand beneath tall cypress trees; on the right, the town’s houses crowd down to the quay. The scene sits in a canted frame of dark and pale straw within a chequered border. Open the lid and the box surprises again. A small mirror is set in a lining of shimmering green straw, and below, the fitted interior is divided into compartments. The two side lids are decorated with a single red flower on a green stem, and the long central lid with a dark six-pointed star. Straw marquetry of this kind is traditionally associated with French convict workshops of the 19th century. It’s a small box with a great deal of patient handwork, made for jewelry, sewing notions or keepsakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good Vintage Condition. There are a few losses and lifted strips to the straw marquetry (including the crinkled green straw lining inside the lid and small chips at the edges), spotting and desilvering to the mirror, and wear consistent with age, as pictured. No key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 8.7 in (22 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 5.9 in (15 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 2.8 in (7 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Straw marquetry over wood, mirror glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical Period: Late 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Duties: Every piece is hand-wrapped, securely packed and fully insured for its journey to you, wherever you are in the world.
