Lovely Pair of 19th Century Treen Boxes with Paint Decorated, Threaded Lids quilt and and couple of shades

and and couple of shades of gray

photos of the map put together were taken under a skylight

on a piece of thin copper--heavy enough to endure but thin enough to bend

reminding me of grain/sponge painted boxes and furniture

Lovely Pair of 19th Century Treen Boxes with Paint Decorated, Threaded Lids quilt and and couple of shadesThese I am fairly certain are British, hand painted blonde wood, with threaded tops, mid 19th century or perhaps a bit earlier I believe. Lovely things, in lovely condition, useful for all sorts of things. Each 1 3 4" d x 1 3 4" t. Sold as a pair. A few small nicks around the bottom edges of the tops and general light wear; overall very good condition.
