An Unusual Late 19thC Coconut BoxOrigin: EnglishPeriod: Late 19thCProvenance: UnknownDate: c. 1890 1900Width: 4Height: 2. 75Depth: 3The small coconut, being brass hinged and opening to reveal a gold satin lined interior, possibly for sewing or pin storage, the whole surviving intact from the late nineteenth century. The box is in good overall condition with no replacement parts. Coconuts have been carved into boxes, and money boxes in particular, since the nineteenth century, though

This is an attractive example in good original condition

Canvas: 41

under a ripple moulded cornice

with a well-aged appearance and texture

or even the 2010 Chap Olympiad

This example was probably a full size at one stage with the top half now lacking

and a very haunting one at that too

their faded grandeur is matched by the original frames

We think the un-tampered appearance of the whole piece is entirely appealing

Diameter: 23

were predominantly limestone and marble

hand-painted in black over fiery burnished gold banners with frosted neck
