This beautiful box has a bombay style bentwood lid and includes the clock in the front. Open it up and there is a tray inside. It is made from Baltic Birch and will make a stunning display wherever you decide to place it. The box measures 12" wide x 9" x 10" tall - clock included.
It has been said that there are over 1500 versions of this old fairy tale. One of the most popular is the one told by a French author, Charles Perrault. For inspiration as to the techniques I went to French fan painting styles, using gouche techniques. The combination of gouche (opaque watercolor) techniques and embellishments of gold bring a highly decorative element to the illustrations.
