This antique French tin box from circa 1890 captures the elegance of 19th-century craftsmanship with its unique design and charming details. Shaped like a wooden chest, the box has a rounded, bulbous form set on four petite “cushion” feet that lend it a sense of whimsy and balance. Painted a soft beige, it features a flat lid that draws attention to an exquisite glass-covered medallion at its center. Inside the medallion, a delicate watercolor depicts a serene garden scene with a white-clad female figure, adding a romantic touch to this functional piece.
While the original key is no longer present, the box’s historical and decorative appeal remains intact. Its rare shape and age make it a collector’s item, while the beautifully preserved watercolor offers a touch of sophistication, making this piece ideal for display as a decorative accent. less
