Delightful Hand Crafted Vintage Marquetry Sewing or Cotton Reel Box This is such a beautiful item that I am a little reluctant to part with it so I hope someone else appreciates just how gorgeous this is and gives it a very good home! Sadly I do not know any history of this lovely box. It was just another of the little treasures I found when opening one of the cardboard boxes that I seem to have so many of. The beautiful scene with trees on the lid of the box is, in my mind something that could have been taken from a Clarice Cliff dinner plate! It is certainly very evocotive of the art deco era and somebody put a lot of love, care and attention into crafting this lovely box. It stands aaprox 7" high to the top of the handle 10¼" wide and 6¼" deep. It is in generally very good condition but I have done nothing at all to try and clean or polish it and I feel it would benefit greatly from a little polish if nothing else. Certanly I do not see any damage or anything which detracts in any way from this lovely box and it would appear to have been hidden away safely for most of it's life if condition is anything to go by.Inside it is split into three compartments which would be idea for keeping cotton reels in. Equally this could be used for all manner of sewing or craft items. It is certainly lovely enough to simply have as a display piece
