We found a beautiful original antique Italian box in Barbara, Italy. This is a handmade beauty from the early 1800s covered in Papier Dominotes. This is an empty box, and I don't know what it held, but it would make a perfect little accent piece for your dresser or bathroom. The boxes measure 5" in diameter and 1" tall. If you look at the picture, you can see that the original Dominote paper is on top with another paper that was most likely added at a later date to secure the original paper on the lid top. The lid also contains a single mark, which is a wormhole and trail—something I absolutely love. The side of the box base is papered in blue, and I think the bottom of the box is vellum. This is a very old and hard-to-find original Italian box that would be a welcome addition to any collection.
Please email me with questions.
