<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Poisonivy, post: 3709046, member: 2417&quot;]Hi all .....</p><p>With us in the UK being in our third lockdown we haven&#039;t been able to go to fairs or antiques centres so I&#039;m bored and struggling for projects now.</p><p>So I dug out this little Georgian box that was in a mess and worked on it for something to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>So inside .... </p><p>Some of the sections were there but two of the back ones and the lid were missing, those have been replaced with old bits of wood.</p><p>The fabric I used for the lid is Georgian, I just had enough for that.</p><p>Outside ....</p><p>The little handle is original but the escutcheon was missing, the one I&#039;ve used is probably&nbsp; Georgian or pretty close, the brass ball feet I took off another Georgian box some time ago&nbsp; and are correct for that box.</p><p>It was once red but someone dyed it brown, so I dyed it darker and polished it up.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So ...... It isn&#039;t the nicest box I have but I&#039;m happy with how it turned out and it should go on for another couple of hundred years <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> [ATTACH=full]312225[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]312226[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]312227[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]312228[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]312229[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
