REDUCED Early Victorian Shell Art Bank Box

Collectibles : Decorative Arts : Shell

 

This box is really a bank. The box is wood with paper applied. There is a plaster decoration to the edges. The top of the box is covered with shells. The box measures 4" x 3" x 3 1/2". The lid is hinged and there is a key hole_ no key. On the top of the box is a slit for depositing the coins. There are condition problems_ mainly loss of the moulded plaster decoration. This is true on the coin slot, around the key hole, one corner of the lid and on the back corner of the box. Most unusual.
