I’m pleased to offer a charming early 20th century heart shaped candy box of unknown origin. I found it in Amsterdam.

The little box measures 4” x 4”. It is made of a textured cardboard that is covered on the lid with glossy white paper that is overlaid with an unusual red pebbled paper. Decorating its center is an embossed die cut of daisies surrounded by a heart of forget me nots. On the inside of the lid, one of this box’s owners has traced the edge of the box and penned a blue heart. The outside edge of the box bottom is covered with white paper. On its inside is a now detached border of paper lace triangle trim.

The box is in good condition with a few points to note. As noted above, there is a drawing on the inside of the lid and the paper lace is detached. The bottom of the box has toned a bit, there is a piece of missing white paper around the top edge of the lid and the point at the bottom of the lid has split and been repaired. Please examine the photos and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

While you are here, do enjoy the other tokens of affection I have available at this time. Thank you for visiting my shop today.
