Highly collectible, these brass “cricket” boxes not only add chinoiserie chicken to your decor, but they hide key and small items from view. Originally used in the Orient to house crickets for luck and prosperity, they became a popular gift item in the mid century. Growing up in New Orleans, they were prized favors at Mardi Gras balls.
This one is octagonal and the pierced design is floral which is a bit different from most.
