Early 19th C Wallpaper Box with Locks of Hair | 1825
Couldn't load pickup availability
This early 19th century box came from a NH estate and is hand sewn together from newspaper and scraps of wallpaper. The paper inside describes the 1824 presidential election and I spotted the date 1825, so the box and its contents date to around that time. Inside are several locks and braids of hair, two brass rings, a cork, and a thimble with the bottom cut off and tied with string. Refer to photos for size and condition: The box and lid look a little squished on the sides, but they were not made quite perfectly, which is part of the charm with handmade pieces like this. It’s really nice to see an early wallpaper box at this tiny size- I am as excited about that as the hair inside!
