The center section lifts off to reveal a small compartment, making it both decorative and functional.

I love pieces like this because they have so much character. The carving is simple and honest, with a wonderfully worn surface and touches of gold leaf that have softened beautifully over time. The age, wear, and small imperfections are exactly what give it its appeal.

It looks great on a coffee table, bookshelf, or tucked into a collection of folk art and interesting objects. It’s the kind of piece people pick up and ask about.

A fun, decorative antique with lots of personality and a great patina.
