About the Item

This old wooden chest was probably a jewelry box back in the day. It was painted in black then hand painted with decor and organic forms throughout. The two wooden front doors open to a series of drawers small enough for jewelry or something similar. The fasteners on this piece are the original metallic hinges, handles and accents. It comes on it's own stand, also hand painted.
