Lovely Pair of 19th Century Treen Boxes with Paint Decorated, Threaded Lids antique magic lantern From what I understand these

From what I understand these were often part of a wedding dowry

A relatively humble but singular and to my eye quite beautiful example

certainly it was done by hand and I believe has quite a bit of age to

and a nice moodiness and sense of aura to the whole thing

The paddle itself beautifully extends all the way through the handle

Lovely Pair of 19th Century Treen Boxes with Paint Decorated, Threaded Lids antique magic lantern From what I understand theseThese I am fairly certain are British, hand painted blonde wood, with threaded tops, mid 19th century or perhaps a bit earlier I believe. Lovely things, in lovely condition, useful for all sorts of things. Each 1 3 4" d x 1 3 4" t. Sold as a pair. A few small nicks around the bottom edges of the tops and general light wear; overall very good condition.
