Handmade Wooden Box with Top Opening, Drawer, Side Handles and Dovetailed Corners bamboo attached to the edgeAnother beautiful box! This one may have been made to serve as a jewelry box, as it seems what was once a cloth interior lining has been removed. It features a lid that opens to reveal storage on the top half, closing with a clasp, then a drawer with brass pull on the lower half. There are beautiful dovetailed corners on all sides of the box and on the corners of the drawers, and the sides feature brass handles for easy transport. Really lovely! 10 1
