Antique Lacquered Shoe Matchbox & Striker Handpainted birds

$125.00

Details

Early Edwardian black lacquered paper mache match box, this piece is similar to snuff boxes of the same era, but the sand striker bottom is useless to the snuff user. Bird (stork? egret?) painted illustration on the lid in red and metallic gold, a botanical painting in the same style on the top of the shoe.

Condition: One small chip on the back of the heel, hinged lid works smoothly, otherwise pristine condition, appears unused.

Measurements: 3 inches long, 1.25 inches high
