✨ The Essence of the Femme Within
Bring a piece of authentic European history and rustic romance into your space with this enchanting antique wooden box.
Dating from the late Victorian or early Edwardian era (circa 1880–1920), this charming piece was likely a souvenier from the picturesque Black Forest region of Germany.
Perfect for the collector of unique Treen, folk art, or feminine desk accessories.
🇩🇪 Historical Charm & Craftsmanship
Origin: Believed to be from the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) region, known for its intricate wood carvings.
Material: Crafted from dense, dark-stained Oak (or possibly Walnut), showcasing a beautiful aged patina.
Carving: This piece is genuinely Hand-Carved and features delightful, deep chip carving in a simplistic floral and geometric folk art style—a classic example of period tourist souveniers.
👃 Unique Perforated Lid: A Scented Secret
The most distinctive feature is the beautiful open-work grille set into the lid. This suggests the box was originally intended as a Potpourri or Scent Box!
Use it to hold dried flowers or a sachet of fragrant herbs, allowing the aroma to gently diffuse into your bedroom, bathroom, or dressing table area.
Alternatively, it makes a perfect decorative trinket box for small rings, earrings, or personal keepsakes.
