RARE Christmas Candy Container Miniature Sleigh Pyrography Poker Art

Antiques : Pyrography : Christmas : Candy Container

 

This rare example of American folk art comes from an extensive collection. I will be listing more unusual pieces in Toinette's under antiques AND collectibles. Please look through the shop for more examples of pyrography (poker art) from this estate. This was the ONLY figural in the collection.

This VERY DETAILED early pyrographed wooden box is in the shape of a snow sleigh. It is a candy container with the top lifting up to hold the goodies. It probably graced a Christmas tree in the early part of this century. What a lucky child to have found this gift from Santa on Christmas morning. It is decorated on every surface.

There are images of children and sleds in a snowy scene. The lid lifts up easily and fits very well when closed. The brass hinges are original and in excellent condition. What a charming find for a collector of candy containers, pyrography or folk art.

This piece measures 8 & 1/2 inches long and is 1 & 1/2 inches high. The inside container size is 4 & 1/4 inches x 2 & 1/4 inches. The work is excellent and undamaged with no warping. Circa 1900 and still the perfect gift !

Shipping is FREE for regular mail and delivery confirmation in the USA. International postage is reduced on this item.
