Vintage Wooden Book-Shaped Box
About the Item
Whimsical and unique, this wooden box shaped like a leather-bound book is sure to delight any bibliophile. A realistic and detailed appearance, combined with improbably large proportions, creates a sense of charming absurdity. The exterior of the box is covered with real leather in a distinguished dark green hue; a border of leaves stamped into the surface is beautifully accented in gold leaf. The front cover of the book opens to reveal a large shallow compartment, perfect for storing letters, photos or precious mementos.
