Handmade-Style Tapered Wooden Trinket Box Finger Joint Hinge Felt Lined Snap

A little tapered wooden box with a charming woodworker's touch: the lid turns on a six-finger comb hinge cut right into the wood, and the inside is lined in soft brown felt. Boxes like this have long been used to keep small treasures, jewelry, keepsakes or desk and dresser odds and ends, and the simple trapezoid shape looks nice on a shelf or vanity. It appears handmade or home-workshop built.

Details

• Key facts: tapered trapezoid shape, narrower at the top than the base; wood lid with visible grain and a plywood body; six-finger wooden hinge at one end; metal snap closure on the front; brown felt lining in the box and on the underside of the lid, with a raised felt panel on the lid.
• Weight about 0.79 lb.

Condition: Used with general wear. One end seam appears to have been re-glued at some point, with dried glue residue and a slightly lifted layer there. There are stains on the wood, and a black stain and scratches on the lid felt. See photos.
