<p>[QUOTE="drg642, post: 3679591, member: 74"]Just saw a thread in the Art forum with a box that reminded me of one I have, so I dug it out. It is about 6 x 4 inches and 2 inches tall. Looks all hand painted to me, and is heavily crackled with a few specks of lost paint. The box has broken apart at one of the hinges which is too bad, but it does show the inner material of the box, and the lid is still very stably attached.</p><p>So, would you agree that it is papier mache, and how old do you think it is? I've seen similar referred to as antique, Georgian, Victorian.</p><p>Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]310524[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]310525[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]310526[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]310527[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]310528[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]310529[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="drg642, post: 3679591, member: 74"]Just saw a thread in the Art forum with a box that reminded me of one I have, so I dug it out. It is about 6 x 4 inches and 2 inches tall.

The box has broken apart at one of the hinges which is too bad, but it does show the inner material of the box, and the lid is still very stably attached. So, would you agree that it is papier mache, and how old do you think it is? I've seen similar referred to as antique, Georgian, Victorian. Thank you.
