Antique Victorian Hand-Painted Folk Art Bentwood Box

A truly special find, this antique bentwood box is a delicate celebration of craftsmanship and folk art. Lightweight yet sturdy, it’s made from thinly shaved wood, gently steamed and bent into its cylindrical form. The hand-painted details are simply exquisite: a figure in a sweeping dress and bonnet graces the lid, while tiny floral sprays dance around the body of the box, each brushstroke rich with charm.

Timeworn in all the right ways, the patina tells a story of careful hands, domestic rituals, and quiet beauty. Use it to store little treasures, taper candles, matches, or even as a sweet styling piece on your desk or shelf. Made circa the late 19th century- early 20th century.
