Turn of the Century French Wooden Instrument Case

About the Item

Made in France at the turn of the century, this vintage wooden case would have originally been used to hold a musical instrument—the distinctive shape suggests a mandolin or a mandore. The wood has been painted in a sober black hue; elegant brass clasps and a gracefully contoured lock piece add subtle decorative touches. Intriguing and romantic, this beautiful accent evokes nights of joyful music and melancholic serenades.
