1900s Chinoiserie Leather Document Box

Description

A very old leather covered folding hinged box. The clasp has long ago been broken. The back hinges still hold the box together but the strength is not what it used to be. If handled carefully, this box will certainly last a long time to come. Keep your treasured love letters inside or your seldom worn jewels. It will look great sitting on a bookcase or shelf.
