In the 18th Century, boxes made of ‘wood shavings,” usually oval in shape, were given as wedding presents or love gifts. There were many centers for the painting of these boxes; but it is generally believed that most of them came from central or lower Germany, especially the Thuringian Forest area. The artists became very skillful with these casually stroked pieces.
We once again have exceptional, high quality Shaker Style Bentwood Boxes. These Oval Museum Bride's boxes are beautifully made of solid birch and are lighter in weight than other Bentwood boxes that have been available in the past.
The bundle includes the tall oval "museum" box that measures 11 1/4" x 8 1/2" and is about 6" tall.
