Antique Pantry Box with Unusual, Perfectly Fitted Lid in Most Beautiful Mustard Grain Painti stocking stuffers 14 1/4" x 5 1/2"The paint on this one made me swoon when I spotted it at one of my favorite shops just over the Vermont border last week photos do no real justice to the richness of color and surface. An unusual one in terms of form, too, in my experience with a recessed lip to the turned lid that fits inside the bentwood box perfectly snug and tight, with the lid lying perfectly flat. A beauty of a yellow underside too. SO pretty. Late 19th century or so. 6 1 8" in
