About the Item
This is a vintage metal storage box, likely intended for household or office use, with decorative and functional qualities. The box is made of metal, possibly tin or steel, with a painted surface. The main body is a deep burgundy or reddish-brown with a matte finish. It is bordered in a muted gold trim, giving it a slightly ornate, antique appearance.
The box shows signs of age, including surface scratches, scuffs, and some wear to the paint and metal, which add to its vintage charm. Each corner of the visible side panel is adorned with a gold acorn and oak leaf motif, a traditional design that symbolizes strength and endurance. A small label or stamp is visible on the side, possibly indicating a manufacturer, model number, or contents (though it's too small to read here). Rectangular with a hinged lid and a slightly domed or flat top. It has a metal handle on the side, suggesting it was meant to be carried or accessed frequently—possibly used for document storage, tea, tobacco, or small tools. The box has a mid-20th century to early 1900s industrial aesthetic, with hints of Edwardian or early Americana design. Its style and detailing suggest it may have been both practical and decorative in its original context.
Overall, it's a handsome and sturdy piece, ideal for use as a decorative storage item or collectible.
