The carved arched backboard with sawtooth border is above the elliptical top deck facilitating five thread spools and an applied tray. The open wallpaper covered cavity above a bowed divider and drawer accommodated thread spools. The lower case containing a single drawer is raised on a cutout base. The outstanding and original paint displays a great patina and is without compromise.
A closely related box by the same hand was in the collection of Nan Gurley; we have images.
