<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 4273546, member: 18081"]Hi all! Apologies, but I am pretty clueless when it comes to telling the age of furniture and anything wooden really. Picked up this box amongst other things recently because I liked the Art Deco feel to it. It is 10.75"L x 6"W x 2.4". My questions for those more knowledgeable than me,</p><p>1. Is it a cigar box?</p><p>2. Does it have any age and what type of wood is it made from?</p><p>3. Can you give any tips dating a piece like this based on the hinges?

[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 4273546, member: 18081"]Hi all! Apologies, but I am pretty clueless when it comes to telling the age of furniture and anything wooden really. Picked up this box amongst other things recently because I liked the Art Deco feel to it. It is 10.75"L x 6"W x 2.4". My questions for those more knowledgeable than me, 1. Is it a cigar box? 2. Does it have any age and what type of wood is it made from? 3. Can you give any tips dating a piece like this based on the hinges? (I couldn't find much info online) Info appreciated as always! I am using this as a learning opportunity :) [ATTACH=full]341056[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341057[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341058[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341061[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341062[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
