Domed-top sewing box constructed from papier-mâché, and wood dating to the 19th century. The surface is decorated with printed paper featuring geometric and starburst motifs and bordered by black patterned bands. Metal hardware includes a working lock with key, worn handles, and original hinges. The box measures approximately 12 inches wide, 6.5 inches tall, and 6 inches deep. Inside, the box retains its original removable tray, paper lining with a polychrome printed border, and a portrait of a young man affixed to the lid interior. The compartment and tray show signs of age, including areas of paper loss and insect damage. Included are period sewing notions: a red-bound cardboard spool and a length of hand-stitched calico fabric in black with red and white detailing. This box reflects authentic wear from use and age, representing a utilitarian object from its era with collectible appeal due to its survival and original elements.
