Circular turned wooden trinket box, 12 cm

About this piece

Turned circular wooden trinket box, 12 cm diameter, about 230 g. Concentric ring decoration to the lid and a small round knop, warm honey-brown figured grain.

A compact turned wooden trinket box, probably 20th century, measuring approximately 12 cm across and finished with a low domed lid that lifts by a small round knop. The lid is decorated with three concentric grooves which pick out the figure in the wood and give the piece a quiet, geometric look. The surface has a warm honey-brown tone and attractive grain, with a shallow internal well sized for rings, buttons or small keepsakes. The lid sits neatly on its seat, a practical, handled form that wears its age well. Handy on a dressing table, sideboard or bookshelf, it will suit anyone collecting small turned boxes or those after a discreet vessel for daily smalls.
