Italian Tole Handpainted Wood Box - Flower Floral Decoration
Italian Tole Handpainted Wood Box - Flower Floral Decoration
Made in Italy during the 1950s or so, here's a wooden box, covered in gesso and handpainted in colors of buttercream yellow with a slate/blue trim. With a design of roses and other flowers, along with leaves of olive green, the box sits on 4 legs, has a curvy lid and is unlined on the inside. With all things old, and the delicate nature of gesso, the piece not only has a patina to the varnish but a bit of chippiness adding to the shabby chic-ness look. The inside of the box is still a bit dusty/dirty and needs a light clean. You certainly could add a fabric interior to make the inside look a little bit more receptive to treasures. Size is 2-3/4" high. Length is 5-3/4"; width is 3-9/16". There is no Italian hallmark but Italian it is! Like a small work of art, this is a piece to be displayed with pride in the house. Look for the other pieces I have listed (as pictured).
