An Outstanding Decorated Document Box
Brown on yellow paint
New England
Circa 1820 - SOLD



Depicted is a wonderful bright and colorful dramatic putty rolled decorated box of unusual proportion. The domed-lid displays an oval cartouche with saw tooth border centering the initials-"FT". The box is of simple lapped construction and remains in fine original condition including hardware.
