18th CENTURY ROUND NORWEGIAN TINA BOX
(Item: TINA GRANDEST)

SOLD $600
This Lovely painted box was found in Colorado in the estate of an elderly couple. It has a finely carved pattern beneath the beautiful paint. Quite a while ago we sent pictured to an expert on early Norwegian items and we received the following: "Your box appears to be from the 18th Century. it probably was not painted originally, but scratched carved. The Rosemaling was probably done in the 19th Century, from the Telemark region. The white background is unusual. It is a fine example of an early box." It retains most of its original lacing and some of the original 18th Century nails. The top board are pegged together, as are the bottom ones. Some of the top edge rim has been lost, as pictured. There is a note inside the box dated 1939 that says: "This box was handed down by my great, great grandmother. it is over 300 years old." ....signed Berel Lampland. She was a little "off" in her dating, but it is indeed over 200 years old. The diameter is 13 inches and it stands about 8 inches tall. We don't often part with things of this age and quality and are confident this is a fine and early piece, so, complete satisfaction is guaranteed.

Will pack properly and ship promptly. UPS INSURED DOMESTIC GROUND SHIPPING $12. Outside of Continental USA must inquire as to terms prior to bidding.
