About the Item

A French cherry glove box from the 19th century with two gloves carved in low relief on the lid as well as carved straps. Immerse yourself in the elegance of yesteryears with this 19th century French cherry glove box. Carved from rich, warm cherry wood, its rectangular form emanates understated sophistication, making it a standout piece for your vintage collection or as an accent piece in your home decor. Its elegant carvings, coupled with its alluring historic charm, make it a unique find. The glove box's lid is adorned with two gloves carved in low relief, crossed over each other as a symbol of its original purpose. These gloves, brought to life by masterful carvings, create an intriguing visual detail, enhancing the box's vintage charm. Adding to this old-world feel are the carved straps, imitating the texture and look of genuine leather straps, demonstrating the artisan's attention to detail and dedication to authenticity. Open the lid to reveal a cosy interior lined with blue fabric. This fabric lining provides a pleasing contrast to the cherry wood and offers a gentle resting place for your precious items. Petite brass spheres accent the facade, their metallic gleam complementing the warm tones of the cherry wood and adding a touch of elegance. Whether displayed on a dresser or used as a piece of historical conversation, this 19th century French cherry glove box with carved gloves and straps is a testament to timeless craftsmanship and style. It's more than just a box – it's a slice of history, a piece of art, and a vessel of stories waiting to be shared.
