Folk Art Box with Sea Shell-decoration

c. 1840, Shell-decorated Folk Art Box, Fine.
This hand-made 7" x 9.5" x 5.5" folk art box featuring a hinged lid with a variety of different shells attached. Along the sides are applied paper animals and figures. One particular side has the "Superior Table Cutlery" label. On the interior of the lid, the name "John" has been written in pen while the name "Nancy Jennes" has been scratched with some other writings. Very creative and unique box.
