Sweet Antique Pair of Carved and Painted Axes painting on wood panel and the lid closes tightPurchased from a dealer from Michigan at the New Hampshire Antiques Show who always has terrific things, I just though these were charming and excellent vehicles for delivering great old paint. Late 19th century I believe, carved of wood, with the remnants of a couple of Victorian die cuts on one side of each. Nice mounted above the front door, say, for protection! Each about 9" long x 3 1 8 to 3 1 4" wide, very good condition, great original painted
