Unusual antique French serpentine dresser box with Embossed Cherubic Scenes. Originally a desk stationary box. Embellished with toleware chromo lithographed panels with frolicking cherub and swag motifs. c1880-1900. This boudoir box has taken on a wonderful faded grandeur air. There is wear and chips to the toleware panels, the fabric elements are worn , it has age related marks, traces of glue around the bottom, some of the screws on the feet have been replaced and there is no key. Despite it's imperfections this box is hard to find & they don't detract from the look. 10 x 7 1/2" x 7" h. If shipped by USPS, insurance will not show on the label. I pay a separate private co for insurance & all my items are insured. My shipping charges are about the lowest in the biz. I pay for a shipping service that allows me to ship 1st class & to provide lower cost insurance. It may be a day longer but doesn't justify you, the customer paying more. If you prefer Priority, don't pay til I can adjust the shipping charge after you notify me of that preference. I only charge actual costs & refund if its less to ship. I also recycle & save good boxes. Priority boxes that come to me are often damaged in shipping, they are too thin.
